Naturescape BC - designing your yard for wildlife
Butterflies and birds, as well as moose and deer, are wildlife. You can provide habitat (a place to live and food to eat) for these charming friends. Imagine sitting on your deck or walking outside and seeing beautiful butterflies resting and feasting on the blossoms. And, there’s more.

There are three booklets in the series
· a provincial guide with specifics on yard design, butterfly garden suggestions, bird house templates and more.
· a list of plants and animals for the southern interior, our area
· a list of resources for information
You buy a set from me for $21.00 or order them from the library.
Here are the links to the library for each of the three booklets - Provincial Guide, Plants and Animals of the Southern Interior, and Resource Booklet. See below.
