3. Provide food for birds and other seed eating
species. Some species and insects find their food on
fruit producing plants. Look for plants that will bear
fruits to sustain the supply of food needed by these
species.
4. Always protect the nesting areas of the birds
that have laid eggs. Place a net on the nesting areas of
the birds to protect the eggs from warblers and
thrashers. The covering is important for the protection
of many species present in the habitat. This will
prevent predators from entering the bioscape.
5. Take care of the butterflies that make the
garden more attractive and decorative. Butterflies are a
beautiful sight to watch when they flit around the
garden. It is not only the beauty they bring, but they
pollinate plants, which in turn helps to continue the
cycle of life in the bioscape.
6. Choose plants that can satisfy the needs of
the garden. There are plants that need sunlight and some
that will not survive in a sunny spot. Find a spot where
plants can be exposed to 4 - 6 hours of direct sunlight.
Your garden should make all living species adapt easily.
7. Provide water to moisten the soil. Most
butterflies do not drink from water containers. Instead,
they drink from the moisture in the soil. Look for a
variety of plants that will attract different kinds of
butterflies that will beautify your bioscape. Lists of
plants that butterflies like are readily available.
These are some recommended tips to provide balance and
continuity of life in a bioscape. Ecological restoration
is very important in preserving the beauty and diversity
of life in a habitat.
