The Wildlife Habitat Journal

Part instructional manual, part workbook, part journal, this delightful little book helps inspire it's readers by suggesting basic steps to attract garden wildlife and a journal to record their progress. Suggested plant lists are provided for birds, butterflies and hummingbirds and websites and other resources are provided for further research into region specific species.

For those of you that have already discovered the joys of sharing your property with wildlife, this journal will help you become more proficient in your environmental stewardship. By recording the details of the events that occur in your yard, you will begin to learn which plants are most favored. You'll know when to expect butterflies if you record the dates that you first see a chrysalis. You'll know when to re-hang feeders if you record when the hummingbirds first appear.

But the real reason this journal was created was to provide a means for garden enthusiasts everywhere to share what they learn while creating habitat. We are all still in the learning stages when it comes to sharing our landscapes with wildlife. Things we thought we knew, such as bugs being bad and chemicals being good, need to be forgotten. New lessons need to be learned. Just as huge treeless lawns gained popularity slowly and by example, so will the yards that provide flowers and native plants for wildlife. As we each learn what works to create wildlife habitat, this journal provides the opportunity to record what we learn.

Whether you share your findings quietly with your closest friends and family, on-line at various forums or at weekly meetings of your favorite garden club, don't be reluctant to share. Teaching others about your new appreciation for wildlife can be a valuable gift for both them and the environment.

The Wildlife Habitat Journal is the perfect book for everyone who wants to do their part to help preserve and restore wildlife habitat by making changes in their own yards. It makes the perfect gift for newlyweds, new homeowners and garden enthusiasts.

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings once said "I do not understand how anyone can live without one small place of enchantment to turn to." Using The Wildlife Habitat Journal can help you to create that place of enchantment. Visit it often.
