Elsewhere in the woods, the Barils keep a log pile for toads and salamanders. There's quite good natural habitat already there. Their back yard is a sort of wetland woodland habitat. The packet also had a booklet on planning and planting a backyard habitat. Shrubs and trees provide fruits and seeds for backyard wildlife.
Perennial flowers offer nectar for butterflies and hummingbirds.
Bird baths or small ponds are among good-looking possibilities.
