When my wife and I bought our current home, I was excited by the fact that it came with a big backyard. Though our total property is a bit less than 0.8 acres, it was significantly more land than we had at our old house.

As a lover of nature, I saw an opportunity to be able to enjoy more of it right out my own back door. I didn’t have a specific goal in mind at first. I just wanted to give myself the best opportunity to see wildlife as often as possible.

If that kind of thing interests you, I’d like to present you with some options along with some of my thoughts and experiences that came with my own journey of making our yard more friendly for wildlife.
