Are you new to the Northwest, new to your home, and/or looking for ways to contribute to habitat restoration efforts through your own yard? If you’re ready to restore habitat for birds and native pollinators in your yard but need support on getting started contact us for a naturescape consultation. Naturescaping describes a patch of yard that is planted with canopy layers of varying heights with majority locally native plants.
