Book SynopsisMake a Home for Wildlife helps you see your property in new ways and is the resource you need to improve the quality of your land. Focusing on the eastern US, this book describes basic habitat types, from forests to wetlands, and highlights native and introduced trees, shrubs, and plants that you can use to help wildlife make a home on your land.
Trade ReviewMake a Home for Wildlife weaves personal stories and natural history in a way that will inspire every landowner to explore and understand their property with an eye toward creating and improving habitat—both to help wildlife and to increase their own enjoyment and satisfaction in being the steward of a small part of nature. The book is well-researched and delightful—truly a must-read. -- Steven Williams Ph.D, President of the Wildlife Management Institute and former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
I really enjoyed the book and particularly love the way it lets landowners tell the stories of what they have done. Make a Home for Wildlife brings together an amazing amount of information. All the technical details are there, but what the reader truly comes away with is the potential that we all have to make a difference, as well as the great satisfaction and the many rewards that come with making a home for wildlife. -- Margaret Brittingham Ph.D, Professor of wildlife resources and extension wildlife specialist at Penn State University and co-author of Terrestrial Vertebrates of Pennsylvania: A Complete Guide to Species of Conservation Concern
