Advice from The Backyard Naturalist



Attracting Wildlife is Easier Than You Might Think

Dear Friends,

On behalf of NWF, I welcome you to The Backyard Naturalist blog.

Many people love the idea of having their own backyard wildlife sanctuary -- full of birds, butterflies and other creatures. The good news is my organization, the National Wildlife Federation, has just the program for them. The NWF Backyard Wildlife Habitat program is based on four simple ideas. Animals need food, water, cover and a place to raise young. This seems a little intimidating to some people I talk to on my travels around the country but it is really fairly simple.

You can start with the basics; put out a bird feeder, plant a berry-producing shrub, set up a birdbath and place a bird house in appropriate habitat. You will be amazed at how these simple steps will result in birds and other wildlife creatures coming to your yard, patio or deck. To learn more about how to have your own certified backyard wildlife habitat visit the National Wildlife Federation's website
