Wildlife Oasis: The Vital Role of Water in Your Certified Wildlife Habitat

The Backyard Naturalists

Welcome to The Backyard Naturalists podcast, the show that explores everything under the sun when it comes to our incredible natural world. With listeners spanning 107 countries, all 50 states, and our beloved Carolinas, we're excited to bring you the second episode of Season Three. We're thrilled to announce that The Backyard Naturalist has been honored with the Best of the Weeklies podcast award.

In this week's episode, Debbie and Laurie are back to guide you through the exciting journey of creating your very own Certified Wildlife Habitat with the National Wildlife Federation. As the NWF states, wildlife habitat gardens serve as sanctuaries for local birds, butterflies, and other fascinating creatures.

This week, we're diving into the vital topic of water – a resource every living being depends on for survival. Join us as we explore how water plays a crucial role in the lives of animals, from hydration to bathing and breeding. Tune in for valuable insights on how you can make your outdoor space a haven for wildlife.

If you have ideas for topics that you'd like us to pursue, send us a message either on our Facebook page or our website. We would really like to hear from you.

We start this episode by talking about creating wildlife habitats. That initial episode of Creating Wildlife Habitats is still in the top three listened episodes for us. These principles have overlapped with almost every episode we've had. It's a really good guiding network for us to keep in mind.
