Make a home for wildlife: creating habitat on your land, backyard to many acres

According to U.S. Forest Service, 250 million acres of woods and forests in the United States are privately held by 10 million individuals/families.

Whether you live on a quarter-acre lot in the suburbs, own a 20-acre woodland retreat, run a farm of 100 acres, or belong to an outdoor club with hundreds or thousands of acres, you can make changes to the land-improvements that will turn your property into a better home for wildlife.

Focusing on the eastern US from Canada to Florida and west to the Great Plains, this book describes basic habitat types - forest, shrublands, grasslands, and wetlands - and highlights over 150 select native and introduced trees, shrubs, and plants, explaining how they are used - or not - by wildlife.
