Create the habitat and wildlife will come, even to urban spaces. All the essential components of animal habitat are provided in a relatively small area. The pond provides the water, while a variety of carefully chosen plants provide food and shelter. Fruit and seed bearing plants offer food. Trees and shrubs, at different heights, provide optimum shelter. By adding these features to your lawn, your backyard can be an attractive place for people and wildlife.
