The 90-Day Plan: DAY 48

DAY 48

SHARE YOUR YARD

Let’s go back outside to investigate what lives there.

Turn over rocks, look in trees and shrubs to see what birds and animals live in your yard.

Take a close look at what lives there and determine if your yard could serve as a sanctuary. Backyard sanctuaries promote biodiversity, a healthy environment, and a peaceful atmosphere.

You attract what you feed. In other words, if you don't put out water, bird seed, or have native plants--don't be surprised if you don't see much around.


Challenge: Some species of bats can eat 1,000 mosquitos in an hour! Install a bat house in your backyard, use this link to find one online: http://www.jfnew.com/
