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.
Living
Summer Plants - These plants produce fruits and berries and provide cover for
wildlife. This includes trees, shrubs, aquatic plants
& vines that produce fruit from June - August. These
plants tend to spread and create thickets which provides cover and
nesting areas in addition to a food source. These include
raspberries, blackberries, wild plum, serviceberries, chokeberries,
honeysuckle and others. Mulberry, chokecherries and black
cherries are good trees for providing
food.
