An Invitation to a Healthy Yard



Yards are personal havens for recreation, rest, and relaxation. By adopting a few basic principles, your yard can become a sanctuary for wildlife as well. As you create habitat that supports birds, butterflies, and other wildlife, you also ensure that your yard remains healthy for you and your family. And by learning about the plants and animals native to your area, you renew your connection with the natural world.
