Are you wondering how to attract and support wildlife on your property? Read this guide!

Creating a space for local wildlife on your property is a rewarding experience. By offering food, water, and shelter, you can enjoy watching birds, deer, and other animals thrive. Supporting your local ecosystem can be simple and benefits both you and the wildlife.

Provide a Reliable Food Source

Natural food sources can be inconsistent. You can help by setting up a feeding station. For birds, a mix of black oil sunflower seeds and millet will attract a wide variety. For larger animals like deer, a quality corn or a specialized mineral mix provides essential nutrients they might not find elsewhere, especially during late summer. A consistent food supply helps them conserve energy and stay healthy.

Offer Fresh Water

All wildlife needs water to survive. A simple birdbath or a shallow dish on the ground can make a huge difference, especially during dry spells. Keep the water source clean and full. You’ll be surprised by the variety of creatures that stop by for a drink.

Create a Safe Habitat

Wildlife needs safe places to rest and raise their young. You can create shelter by leaving a brush pile in a corner of your yard or planting native trees and shrubs. These natural areas provide cover from predators and the elements. A well-placed feeder near this cover will make animals feel more secure.
