backyard conservation ...  

Conservation practices have long been used on farms, but practicing conservation in your backyard will not only help the environment, it will bring a lot of satisfaction to living. Many of the same conservation practices used by farmers can be used on a smaller scale by families in suburban and urban environments.

All land has resources of soil, water, air, plants and wildlife. Conservation means using these resources wisely, while protecting or improving their quality.

As a bonus, conservation projects do more than just improve your backyard. As you plan backyard projects, implement them, and enjoy the results, you'll share valuable time with family. Fresh air, sunshine, and exercise are also benefits of backyard projects. And watching wildlife that is attracted to your yard is free entertainment all year! Backyard conservation projects can help teach young people important lessons about responsibility. They'll learn how we can all conserve resources. They'll grow to appreciate other living things. They'll see how planning and practice lead to results. They will grow confident that their own actions can help build a better future.
