The presentation will concentrate on ways to attract and keep native wildlife, especially critters that can be beneficial to your landscape and gardens. Techniques will include the use of water and water features, habitat and cover, nesting sites, and vegetation. Limiting invasive species that can interfere with the natural functioning of your local environment, inhibiting natural balances and controls, will also be included. Examples of many beneficial animals will be shown, such as insects, spiders, snakes, skinks, toads, lizards and birds.
