Backyard Habitat Help

Backyard habitats can be great for the environment, for the entertainment and education of children and adults, for the control of unwanted insect predators like mosquitoes, and for many other less tangible reasons.

Most of the work can be done by the motivated homeowner, but sometimes a little help is needed. we have many pages of information available here to help you, and we have lists of other backyard habitat help resources as well.

Beside these information resources, we also offer practical backyard habitat help for the homeowner when it is needed. We do this by offering consultation and help with identification of species, the elimination of unwanted species by the least drastic means, and we can help with design and construction when needed.

Not everyone who wants to do something good for wildlife, the environment, nature and the neighborhood, has the skills, the tools, the license, or the time to perform some of these tasks. If you find yourself in one of these situations, we will be glad to help you develop your own backyard wildlife habitat.

Our services are provided for those in the East Texas area.

• A love of wildlife.

If you are a nature lover, why not create some in your backyard? When we say create, we really mean cooperate. When working on such a project, we are merely filling in the blank spots, or removing things of detriment.

• For the aesthetic value.

The sheer beauty of minimally managed nature as viewed from your back deck.

• For the enjoyment and education of children.

Watching the look of fascination in a child’s eyes. Enough said!

• Insect protection.

More people die from Malaria each year than from any other factor. Malaria is only one of the many diseases carried by mosquitoes. Birds and bats eat mosquitoes like kids eat candy. Having birds and bats, cuts down the mosquito problem, which cuts down on on pain, swelling, and disease. It also decreases the need for insecticides, which is always a good thing for the environment, for health, and for your wallet!

So, aside from the environmental good, and the aesthetic appeal, you are providing a public health service, that saves you money!
