WV Certified Wild Yard

17May07

West Virginia Wildlife magazine has an article about a program of the WV Department of Natural Resources. It’s called the Wildlife Diversity Program, and is not limited to those living in rural areas or on farms. You fill out a free application. If your yard qualifies, you get a sign to place in your yard that states it is a “WV Certified Wild Yard.” The program is to encourage certain methods of landscape management that provides habitat for a variety of species.

Phenology:

--the study of cyclic and seasonal natural phenomena, esp. in relation to climate and plant and animal life (Oxford Amer. College Dictionary).
Place:

"One definition of place, proposed by geographer Yi-Fu Tuan, is that a place comes into existence when humans give meaning to a part of the larger, undifferentiated geographic space. . . . Some places, however, have been given stronger meanings, names or definitions by society than others. These are the places that are said to have a strong "Sense of Place." Places said to have a strong "sense of place" have a strong identity and character that is deeply felt by local inhabitants and by many visitors. . . . Such a feeling may be derived from the natural environment, but is more often made up of a mix of natural and cultural features in the landscape, and generally includes the people who occupy the place." --from Wikipedia
