How it works

Planting trees, shrubs and other vegetation that provide or maintain cover and food will attract wildlife. The type of habitat provided will determine types and numbers of wildlife attracted.

Purpose/Benefit

  • Reduces soil erosion, adds organic matter to the soil, filters runoff, and increases infiltration by adding ground cover
  • Provides food and cover for wildlife
  • Can add value to a farmstead
