Convert your yard into a beautiful native wildlife habitat and watch how quickly the creatures make it their favorite spot! It’s easy and inexpensive to create food, water, and shelter for native insects and birds. This presentation shows great photos of a local backyard restoration project, and shares some important lessons for the beginning habitat gardener.

Jeffrey Caldwell, B.A., Biology, has nearly 50 years of horticultural experience, working especially with California native plants. He has been habitat gardening most of his life, beginning with an outdoor terrarium for reptiles, amphibians, and fish in about 1960. He is passionate about helping home gardeners and other land managers who want to create landscapes friendly to bees, butterflies, songbirds and other creatures.
