Backyard and Habitat

Wrenaissance.com enables me to share my enthusiasm for backyard wildlife habitats as well as the joy that I've gotten from creating, improving, and living in one. The name comes from the Carolina Wrens that lived in our garage and yard in Virginia.

Having a backyard wildlife habitat adds tremendously to my quality of life. Watching the birds and other critters who visit the yard is the most relaxing part of my day. Puttering around the yard, taking photos, or just sitting and watching is my best escape from stress and hassle. It takes only as much time and effort as I have to give to it, and often can and must go on autopilot for long stretches of time when I'm busy elsewhere. You don't need a green thumb or years of experience to create a habitat - anything you do that makes your yard a more welcoming place for wildlife will return rewards that more than repay the work you did to create it. Like me, you can have the satisfaction of knowing you have made the world a little better place through your actions.
