Local wildlife – such as birds and small mammals – need a supply of clean water to survive periods of extreme heat and drought.  Small animals often seen in our backyards typically don’t have large ranges, meaning that fresh water close-by is extremely important for survival.

Viewer Tip:  You can lend a hand to wildlife in your own backyard with these simple tips.

  •  Keep bird baths full of clean water.  Don’t have a bird bath?  Adding one to your yard is relatively inexpensive and provides great bird watching opportunities.
