The
natural environment of British Columbia boasts more biodiversity than
any other part of Canada. Unfortunately, the highest concentrations of
biodiversity in British Columbia, located in mountain valleys, river courses,
estuaries and deltas, also contain the highest numbers of human populations;
thus resulting in habitat loss for many species. However, as British Columbians
there is a great deal we can do to prevent this loss, right in our own
backyards!
Individuals
acting at their homes can make a big difference. All you need is a little
space - a balcony, patio, yard, or acreage - each is potential wildlife
habitat where biodiversity may be restored and protected. Your first project
need not be either expensive or overly ambitious because simple projects,
such as installing a planter, a feeder, or a bird bath, are effective
ways to start.
By
joining Naturescape British Columbia you are provided with the resources
necessary to restore your outdoor space to a more natural state. The resources
arrive in the form of a Naturescape Kit which provides program information
and benefits in two stages.
Stage 1: The Naturescape
Kit which contains:
- A provincial guide featuring instructions
and illustrations for designing wildlife habitat appropriate to your
particular site, building a pond, erecting bird and bat houses, and
much more!
- A native plant and animal booklet which
features the indigenous plants and animals in your region of the province
- A regional resource booklet that lists
publications, naturalist organizations, garden clubs, participating
garden centres and retailers, and wildlife rehabilitation centres.
- A Naturescape British Columbia membership
card which entitles you to discounts at participating retailers.
| Stage 2: |
Additional Benefits included
in the Naturescape Kit is an easy-response questionnaire that encourages
you to describe your outdoor space and how you have made it more attractive
to wildlife. Upon receipt of this information we will send you the
following materials: |
- A Naturescape British Columbia sign for
your yard to demonstrate that you care for wildlife habitat at home
- A Naturescape British Columbia newsletter
featuring participants’ reports about projects they have undertaken,
a question and answer department, plus seasonal information to keep
you up-to-date throughout the year
