A Guide to the Southern Great Plains
by Jeremy D. Garrett
Illustrated by Coral McAllister
"People want to attract wildlife to their yards for a variety of reasons,
but probably foremost among these is that birds and other animals bring us
pleasure. The exuberant songs of cardinals and mockingbirds, the playful
antics of young squirrels at feeders, and the sight of colorful butterflies
dancing above wildflower patches provide us with both daily and lasting
joy."-from Landscaping for Wildlife
Written by Jeremy D. Garrett in association with the Oklahoma Department of
Wildlife Conservation, Landscaping for Wildlife provides beginners and
experts alike with specific, detailed, yet easy-to-follow instructions for
meeting water needs, feeding preferences, and nesting requirements of
wildlife species found in the southern Great Plains. Garrett also explains
how specific plants draw animals to your property by providing food and
shelter sources. To assist readers in designing their own "wildscape,"
detailed diagrams and plant listings accompany photographs of several
ODWC-certified wildscaped properties. A woodworking section includes
patterns of nesting and feeding stations designed for individual wildlife
species. Garrett's explanations and advice are complemented by Coral
McCallister's elegant and charming illustrations of wildlife as well as of
various habitats and wildscapes.
