Backyard Habitat is a program by Animal Planet in partnership with the National Wildlife Federation that teaches people how to “make the planet a better place for animals – one back yard at a time.” Besides promoting environmentally conscious behavior, the projects make great family activities, and you don’t have to be a forest ranger or master carpenter to do them. One fun, artistic project we especially liked was the hand-painted watering dishes you can make with your kids for woodpeckers. Check it out!
