Thanks for wandering through nature with me on another episode of The Nature Wanderer! Today I head into the “wilds” of my own backyard for part two of solving the mystery of the missing wildlife. Our separation from the natural world has caused us to groom our yards to the point where they don’t support a natural ecosystem. Our yards have turned into a desert. Enjoy your listening.

Here are some links to websites that will help you create a backyard habitat for the wildlife
