Ways to Help Wildlife

• Keep pets indoors. Outdoor and feral domestic cats are responsible for 2.4 billion annual bird deaths in the US alone, and up to 22.3 billion mammals every year. These cats have contributed to the extinction and endangerment of various animal species.
• Plant native trees and shrubs to provide natural food and shelter resources.
• Remove non-native plants.
• Create "wild" areas where the grass is unmoved and leaves are unraked.
• Do not use of chemicals or pesticides in the landscape that can poison the land or water.
