At Home

• Remove invasive plants and replace with native species
• Maintain a “wild” area e.g. where leaf litter is allowed to accumulate, shrubs remain unpruned or grass stay uncut
• Avoid disturbance near streams. See Riparian Areas Regulation FAQ’s
• Keep your cat indoors or at least have him/her wear a bell
• Check out Wild Birds Unlimited. They have an extensive range of merchandise to attract, and to protect nature in your backyard.

Naturescape British Columbia is an excellent source of information in planning or managing your property to enhance nature.
