As urban development increases and wildlife of all kinds lose their natural homes, it becomes more and more important for homeowners to provide wildlife with a safe haven in the middle of it all.

Wildlife landscaping allows you to attract beautiful songbirds, cheerful butterflies and other interesting wildlife to your yard.

If you want to attract a variety of wildlife to your yard, the most important thing you must do is to provide food. Food for wildlife is easy to provide. Food sources include seeds, berries, nuts, flower nectar, insects, and other wildlife.

Choose a variety of native plants that produce seed or fruit at different times of the year. Most songbirds require insects in their diet so do your best to avoid the use of insecticides as these are toxic to most wildlife.

Generally native species and their selections from nearby sources are a good first choice because they are adapted to local conditions.

Disturbance to wildlife should be lessened in areas where human activity is kept to a minimum. Avoid placing your wildlife habitat in busy areas. Locate and shape human activity areas, such as patios and decks, so that wildlife can be viewed, undisturbed, from around or inside the house.

Many people don't even realize the difference a change to their landscaping approach can make to their property. Create a setting in their garden for wildlife can change the way people feel about nature and themselves.
