Creating Habitat For Wildlife

[Sacred Earth.Global Village]

Many environmental organizations provide guidelines and reference information for how to sustain the web of life by creating habitat for wildlife in your yard. A small space can do a lot for the larger global environment by providing habitat for wildlife including pollinating insects, birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and native plants and trees.

When you provide these five features, in a form that grows from nature, in your yard, you are helping to sew back the fabric in the web of life:

1. Places to bear & raise young

2. Cover/Shelter

3. Water sources

4. food (in the form of what is natural that will live in your area)

5. Making sure there is a 'transitional zone' of tall grass, shrubs, vines and the general tangle that grows (if not removed) between lawn and woods. It is very important to allow this feature to grow because it is what sews 'the web of life' together. It is usually groomed because of it's messy appearance. This is exactly what wildlife need and suffer without having.

Here's is one site that describes the four features. The fifth feature should be there. Very important!
