Backyard Habitat for Wildlife
Across the City, native animals become dependent on our backyards to survive when their habitat is damaged or lost. Whether you live in a house, unit, or apartment, by allowing your backyard to become a habitat garden, you are helping the local wildlife. Creating a wildlife-friendly habitat is easy and could be as little as building a birdbath, providing hollow shelter, or planting native shrubs
The Backyard Habitat for Wildlife Program is free to join and provides an opportunity for residents to assist wildlife to survive in their local area.
You receive:
- Two free native plants
- An information pack
- A free copy of the Backyard Habitat Planting Guide, which includes a plant selector table
- Discounts at participating nurseries
- A gate sign
- Networking opportunities
- Invitations to free workshops
- An Ecoadvocate subscription
- Factsheets on frog ponds and nest boxes
- Personal health benefits from gardening and being outdoors
