About this episode
Send a textIn Episode #15, I will discuss a few ways to develop a backyard habitat to draw in wildlife, birds, mammals, butterflies, bats, and insects.  I will mention that you need, of course, food, water, shelter and a place for the wildlife to raise their young.  I'll also suggest a few times that you need to do this without using pesticides and fertilizers.  I will encourage you to use natural native plants and we will discuss perennials, trees, and bushes and name several awesome ones to start out with. On today's podcast, I encouraged you to visit my Facebook "Amateur Naturalist" Podcast site and tell me your stories and show me your pictures of your backyard habitats and what animals are coming into your yard now.You can even get your backyard habitat certified by the National Wildlife Federation through their program called "The Backyard Wildlife Habitat" certification program.  Even if you are not interested in the certification, go look at the site for helpful checklists and ideas.
