The Backyard Habitat Certification Program provides excellent tools and resources for homeowners looking to incorporate native plants and habitat creation into their landscaping. Gladstone has some beautiful Oak Savannah habitats, and this program can help you figure out what to plant to help your yard fit into the natural environment and provide habitat to native species of insects and birds.
