Make a Home for Wildlife

This nonfiction how-to reference book gives property owners the tools and knowledge they need to create food and cover for wildlife. Focusing on the eastern U.S., the book describes basic habitat types — forests, shrublands, grasslands, and wetlands — and explains how to make or improve them. Includes recommendations on how to help mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, butterflies, and pollinating insects. It also has success stories about landowners who have made habitat on their properties.

“Fergus is a storyteller, and even when he’s writing a how-to book, it’s infused with clear text and keen observations. Make a Home for Wildlife is a book you’ll refer to repeatedly, for both the practical advice and the nature writing.” – Matt Miller, director of science communications, The Nature Conservancy

“Brings together an amazing amount of information. I particularly love the way the book lets landowners tell the stories of what they have done.” – Margaret Brittingham, Ph.D., professor of wildlife resources, Penn State University

“An excellent resource for private landowners, as well as biologists who are working with landowners to support their conservation efforts.” – Jodi Stemler, Wildlife Management Institute Outdoor News Bulletin
