The first major snow storm of the year in Ct. has highlighted the success I have had in creating a backyard wildlife habitat.  It is beautiful and functional for humans and wildlife.  I have eliminated any invasive species and have made a goal of re-establishing up to 75% native species. All year long I plan for 4 season interest.  I think it has paid off.
