At Wissahickon Trails, we believe that conservation starts at home, and creating an eco-friendly yard is a fantastic way to contribute to the health of our local ecosystems. We were recently featured in Redfin’s blog on eco-friendly yard ideas, where our Conservation Manager, Margaret Rohde, shared valuable insights on how to make your outdoor space more wildlife-friendly.
As Margaret explains, “Birds and other wildlife are always seeking water. You can help them by setting out a bird bath or something as simple as a small dish filled with clean water. Butterflies will also stop by for a drink – just be sure to give them something to perch on by adding rocks (or colored beads) and keep the water a bit shallower.” This simple action can make a big difference in supporting local wildlife and promoting biodiversity in your yard.
Whether it’s adding a bird bath, planting native species, or creating a habitat for pollinators, every small change contributes to a healthier environment. We encourage you to read the full article on Redfin’s blog to learn more about how to transform your yard into a sustainable and eco-friendly haven.
