Re: Backyard Wildlife
Consider:
damage done to gardens by "acceptable" "wildlife" ---dogs, cats, children.
That we "accept".
The bottom line is trying to achieve a balance, i.e., give up a few (!)
hosta leaves in exchange for seeing a buck in your backyard. Creating small
animal habitat in a backyard in area where undregrowth has been eaten by
deer, is an effort to help balance the "micro" eccosystem in an area..
