Wildscaping DVD
This is Passport to Texas
If cats, dogs and grackles are the only wildlife visiting your backyard—you need a wildscape. Creating one is not as tough as you might think.
02–You know, the hardest part is just getting started.
Kelly Bender is an urban wildlife biologist and co-author of the book Texas Wildscapes, and was instrumental in creating the Texas Wildscapes interactive DVD, which comes with the book, and guides users through planning an urban oasis.
15–The wildscape DVD is designed to help people to get started in planning their habitat, understanding what wildlife need to succeed, or to survive, and to give them the tools that they need to start implementing wildlife habitat management principles in their own gardens and landscapes.
Just pop the DVD into your computer, and a wealth of information, including which plants will grow in your area and what wildlife they attract, is at your fingertips.
20–We made this product that allows us to enter in different variables. So, you can say, well, I want something that is native to Central Texas, that needs a lot of sunshine or a little bit of sunshine, or attracts hummingbirds, or attracts songbirds, or whatever it is that you really want to have in a plant. And it will give you a list of plants that are appropriate for your goals.
Texas Wildscapes DVDs come with the Texas Wildscapes book from book sellers through Texas A & M Press.
That’s our show…we receive support from the Wildlife restoration program, working to preserve habitat in Texas. For Texas Parks and Wildlife…I’m Cecilia Nasti.
