Is Your Yard Providing Everything Wildlife Needs?
Planting native species is an important step toward creating wildlife habitat. But how can you tell what's working, what's missing, and where to focus your efforts next?
Presented in partnership with Wildr Places, this free Wild Ones webinar features Zoe Evans, Cornell Master Naturalist and VP of Education & Partnerships at Wildr Places, as she explores a practical, science-informed approach to evaluating your home landscape. Discover how native plants, vegetation layers, water, shelter and thoughtful management practices work together to support wildlife—and how simple observations can help guide your next steps.
This session will cover:
– Five key areas to consider when evaluating the habitat value of your landscape.
– How native plants, vegetation layers, water and shelter work together to support wildlife.
– Ways to recognize what's already working and identify opportunities for improvement.
– How to document plants, track invasive species and observe changes in your habitat over time.
– Practical next steps to improve your outdoor space, wherever you are in your native landscaping journey.
