Berries are fascinating to me because they attract a great
deal of wildlife. Whether wildlife remains in our region or whether they migrate – berries provide a valuable food source for nourishment. The color of the berries determines the food content for the animal. Some are high in fats to help put weight on the animal and others are high in sugars for quick energy. When selecting plants that produce berries, try to consider a colorful selection of berry producing plants – by doing this you cover all the food groups vital for the nutrition of our feathered and furry friends. Don’t forget us. If you have children, this is a wonderful way to introduce them to birds and other animals. Fall foliage is an added benefit to the mix when plants are showing their fall colors.
