OTHER BENEFITS
You can probably double the number of bird species using
your property with a good landscaping plan. There are other
benefits you can enjoy from a good landscaping plan also.
Such as energy conservation. By carefully arranging your
conifer and hardwood trees, you can lower winter heating and
summer cooling bills for your house.
Certain landscape plants, while providing for food and
shelter for birds, can prevent soil erosion.
A good landscaping plan will contribute to a beautiful,
natural setting around your home that is pleasing to people
as well as birds.
Birds such as tree swallows, house wrens, brown thrashers,
and orioles eat a variety of insects.
Some of the best wildlife habitats are the best "habitats"
for young people to discover the wonders of nature. A
backyard habitat can stimulate young people to develop a life
long interest in wildlife and conservation.
