Inviting Nature In: Creating Outdoor Spaces that Support Wildlife

No matter the size of your yard, you can create an inviting space that supports wildlife year-round. Each of us can play an important role in supporting native plants and animals in the face of challenges like habitat loss, declining biodiversity and climate change. Join Master Naturalist Amy Bolton to discuss how to incorporate the basic needs for wildlife into your outdoor space. Learn how choosing a few strategic plants can attract a host of birds, butterflies and mammals. Be surprised at the biodiversity you can support by planting native plants and creating a four-season habitat.
