Cold nights are easier when your yard offers shelter.
Brush piles, leaf litter, and evergreens become safe havens for wrens, robins, and cardinals seeking warmth and cover.
Heres how to help:
Stack fallen branches into a brush pile perfect roosting shelter.
Leave leaf litter it hides insects, a ready buffet for hungry birds.
Keep evergreen shrubs dense and untrimmed for wind protection.
Avoid over-tidying; every corner left wild becomes a refuge.
Let your garden shelter life through winters quiet months.
