Not everyone will be blessed with all sixteen Habitat Components on their property. This does not mean that introducing as many as possible will not
enhance wildlife. The key is to understant each of the components, what they are, how they assist in nature and what wildlife will be assisted by their availability.

Fall Plants - This landscape component includes
shrubs and vines whose fruits ripen in the fall. These foods are
important both for migratory birds which build up fat reserves
before migration and as a food source for nonmigratory species that
need to enter the winter season in good physical condition.
Fall-fruiting plants include dogwoods, mountain ash, winter-berries,
cottoneasters and
buffalo-berries.
