I just discovered another Backyard Wildlife Habitat slideshow made by Tiffany and her family over at Nature Mom’s Blog!
Several weeks ago, I wrote a post describing how to certify your yard as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat with the National Wildlife Federation. This can be a fun family project that can teach kids a lot about nature and make them look at their own backyard in a whole new way.
One of my readers, meeyauw made a slideshow of her property showing the different habitat elements. Meeyauw’s slideshow inspired Tiffany to create one of her yard too.
This slideshow idea seems like a lot of fun! Go visit meeyauw’s and Tiffany’s slideshows and then make one of your own. Be sure to tell me about it and I will link to it here.
Thank you both for taking this idea one very creative step farther!

One of my readers, Meeyauw, apparently enjoyed my post on creating a National Wildlife Federation backyard wildlife habitat enough to actually do this project with her grandson, Wingnut. (Wow, somebody was really interested in what I had to say! What a nice feeling!).
She and Wingnut created a totally wonderful slideshow (complete with great music that makes me want to dance) of their nature hike around Meeyauw’s property with cat Buddy. They photographed various habitat elements that they came across, and also took many photos of Buddy enjoying himself tremendously.
Meeyauw’s gorgeous Barton, Vermont property appears to need no adjustments for certification, and that cool sign should be on her barn in no time. Caves, natural springs, glacial boulders, trees, ferns…suffice it to say that when I die I want to be reincarnated as any form of “wildlife” whatsoever and live happily ever after on her property!
Thank you to Meeyauw and Wingnut for your great slideshow. I hope that anyone reading this will stop by Meeyauw’s blog and watch the slideshow. Maybe you’ll be inspired to try this yourself! If you do, please let me know.
By the way, check out the National Wildlife Federation’s site called Green Hour for some information and ideas for getting kids outside and into nature.
