A backyard can come alive by creating an environment with plants and spaces that attract nature's most interesting and friendly creatures. Colorful butterflies, uplifting songbirds, and lively toads can enhance the personal garden space, giving pleasure to nature lovers of all ages. National Wildlife Federation(R) Attracting Birds, Butterflies & Other Wildlife to Your Backyard (2nd Ed) provides over a dozen step-by-step projects for families to do together, making getting back to nature easy, educational, and fun. Author David Mizejewski presents simple plans for reintroducing native plants that birds, butterflies, and a whole host of critters can't resist. He also provides new information on attracting backyard pollinators--a major issue for environmentalists as bee populations decline.
