Native plants are the foundation of a healthy landscape—but they’re only part of the story. In this free Wild Ones National Webinar, landscape ecologist, Certified Wildlife Biologist, and author Shaun McCoshum, PhD, explores what wildlife really need to survive and how you can create a home landscape that supports biodiversity year-round.

About the Webinar
Pollinators, birds, amphibians, and other wildlife rely on nesting sites, shelter, water, overwintering habitat, and healthy soils to complete their life cycles. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in ecological restoration, habitat management, and conservation research, Shaun shares practical, science-based strategies for incorporating these often-overlooked habitat features into your landscape.

You'll learn:
-The habitat resources wildlife need beyond food plants
-How ecological processes shape healthy, resilient landscapes
-Ways to incorporate nesting habitat, shelter, water, and overwintering sites into your yard
-Practical habitat-building strategies that complement native plantings and support greater biodiversity
