With hands-on projects, activities, and a wildlife field guide, kids discover how they can identify, attract, and protect habitat for bees, butterflies, and wild animals living right around them. Be a Hero for Local Wildlife!

Birds, insects, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals live all around you – and you can help protect them! Use the field guide pages to learn about which species you're likely to see in your area. Then turn your backyard into a sanctuary by creating an animal-friendly habitat where wild residents can find food, water, shelter, and places to nest and raise their young.
