The Wildlife Habitat is a ¾ acre residential site designed to attract wildlife of all kinds.  The owners required a garden environment that supports animals/insects, manages water and contributes to the surrounding ecoregion. Designed and detailed by the landscape architects as a series of biohabitats, each provides food, shelter and nesting places that encourage pollinator species and extend wildlife corridors.  All water is retained on site and directed into permeable paving or a large bioretention area massed with native plants that provide pollinator and bird habitat, and complement the grass/wildflower meadow at the entry gate.  Walkways composed of crushed gravel encircle the site, providing viewing opportunities. The raised vegetable garden includes fruit trees and edible plants.  Carved out of existing wetlands, the 1700SF pond is surrounded by water plants providing cool areas for fish to congregate.  A Corten steel fountain spills into a recirculating stream that empties into the pond; stepping stones cross the stream and lead to a circular seating area.

The owners are currently registering as a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat.  The site is also used for sustainable education tours emphasizing how sustainable strategies like planting native species and soil and water management create low maintenance, cost effective projects as ecosystem services are balanced and function properly.
