Learn how to use ecology to turn your backyard into a thriving haven for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife with this engaging, marvelously illustrated guide Native plants are essential for healthy ecosystems that support insects and animals, but vegetation alone does not provide the necessary resources for most creatures or their life cycles. This book breaks down ecological processes that regulate habitats and explains how to recreate vibrant, gorgeous, natural habitats in your own backyard-ones that attract pollinating insects, birds, and other suburban wildlife while appealing to neighbors and friends. It focuses on how to rebuild broken processes and covers a wealth of topics, such as the importance for gardens that support wildlife to include shelter, nest sites, hydration areas, and places to overwinter. Written by a leading expert, Natural Habitats and Wildlife Gardening is an easy-to-understand primer on ecology and ecological processes that explains innovative conservation and ecological ideas for small and large garden designs. This book will interest gardeners, land managers, natural science majors, and urban planners.
