The Problem
We would like to turn our front yard, which has primarily been lawn and some bushes, into a wildlife sanctuary, with a lot of native plantings, and access to water and shelter. We hope to get it certified as a Wildlife Habitat at some point. My daughter, age 15, has studied local animals for years, and building a habitat for them would be a great service project. I would also like to involve my 17 year old son. We think too that in helping wildlife, we would be enriching our low-income neighborhood, and perhaps others would be inspired to create similar projects.
