Decorating for the holidays? Consider adding in a few decorations for wildlife too! One easy way to help wildlife this season is to create a wildlife-friendly wreath. Using a metal wreath frame or a coat hanger bent into a circle, attach overlapping pieces of fresh-cut evergreen sprigs with craft wire. Add a variety of edible snacks for wildlife to the wreath such as seeds, seed pods, berries, nuts, fruit pieces, corn cobs, and acorns. A sturdy wreath can also double as a cozy hiding place for small songbirds needing to escape the weather.
