A good wildlife habitat provides food, water, and cover. Since different species require different types of cover, offering a variety is best – cavity nesters need dead trees and snags; small mammals and grassland birds require areas of tall grasses, weeds, and wildflower patches; deer prefer dense shrubs; brush and rock piles provide shelter for small mammals, birds and reptiles ("A Home for Wildlife in Your Backyard" Arkansas Game and Fish Commission). Plant trees and shrubs of a variety of species and heights. Thick, thorny evergreen patches provide superb hiding places. Hang nest boxes, bee and butterfly boxes, and bat houses in the habitat. To accommodate all of their requirements, place cover within 10-15 feet of food and water.

Cavity Nesters

Many species nest in cavities, and a lack of appropriate nesting areas limits their populations. Cavity-nesting species include three species of bluebirds, Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, woodpeckers, flycatchers, Screech Owls, American Kestrels, nuthatches, Purple Martins, wrens, Wood Ducks, grey squirrels, flying squirrels, and bats.
