BACKYARD HABITAT
Many of the weeds that we struggle with controlling in our natural areas were brought to this area for landscape plants. During this Stay at Home order, Habitat Restoration can continue in our backyards by ensuring they are free of any noxious weeds and planting native trees and shrubs. This will not only make your yard more beautiful (not to mention it’s something to do right now) but it will create little pockets of vital habitat that creatures like birds, squirrels, and bugs need to survive in an urban environment.

If you are interested in creating backyard habitat on your property, PCD has a variety of resources, tools, and knowledge to help. Contact Caleb Mott: (253) 358–0088 | CalebM@piercecd.org
