    I must preface this with a caveat... your local area has SPECIFIC
    "needs" that can differ WILDLY from areas even just a few dozen 
    kms away. So it is imperative you study the requirements of 
    whichever critters may call the same place "home". As well, many 
    places on Turtle Island are visited by migrating animals and 
    insects throughout the year, and it is indeed a good thing to 
    also consider their needs. Please "do your research" on the best 
    practices in feeding wildlife in your local environment.

    There are indeed organizations, like native plant and wildlife 
    conservation societies in many areas around Turtle Island. Seek 
    them out. That said, it is also a good idea to grow native plants, 
    or help set up areas where natives can flourish. They have, after 
    all, evolved right along with the local wildlife, and many need 
    each other for survival. Plus, natives need little to no care to thrive.

    Lastly, one should ALWAYS have water available for all the critters, 
    at all times. Have fun with it.
