CREATE A Backyard for Biodiversity Today

Local native plants are the biodiversity! They are also the key to supporting insects and vertebrates in your garden. 

Building a pond [or ponds] for habitat is the fastest was to increase your backyard's biodiversity. Bird baths and water points for insects are essential.

Reduce lawn. Replace with gardens furnished with rocks, logs, mulch, bark, a variety of local plant forms. Consider native bee boxes, bat boxes, bird boxes, possum boxes - many of our wild animals need hollows.

Creating habitat gardens is a journey not a destination. Below you will find links to blogs, books and articles to help you on your journey of learning.

You are going to change your garden but you are also going to change your self. Be ready for a new life with nature.

Help us raise awareness about Backyards for Biodiversity and the work we do. Share our website, social media pages, and information about our events and programs with your family, friends, and colleagues. We need everyone to spread the word about the importance of nature.
