Naturalist David Mizejewski discusses the benefit native plants offer in providing shelter and cover for wild birds. The video includes a discussion of using native plants, the benefits of evergreen plants, planting a living fence, creating a brush pile, providing roosting boxes, and leaving dead trees or “snags” in place to create “apartment buildings” for birds and critters. For a list of recommended native plants for your state, please visit the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center.
