Planning your Practices to Include Wildlife

All wildlife require food, water, and places for protection within reasonable proximity to each other. With awareness of these basic needs, you can plan and implement practices that will attract wildlife and provide them with a suitable home.

Water

Farm ponds and wetlands provide life-giving water for birds and animals. Agroforestry practices can provide travel lanes for access to water sources.



Cover

Trees, shrubs and ground cover provide protection from predators and shelter from winter cold and summer heat.


Food

Seeds, berries, nuts and fruits from trees or shrubs can provide food for many wildlife species.
