Turn fallen wood into a wildlife haven! 🌿 Build a brush & log pile to provide food, shelter, and nesting for many garden visitors.
Zones: 4–9 (adjust with local plants & wood)

Stacked logs & branches → hideouts for amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals

Decaying wood → homes for beetles, fungi, and insect larvae (bird food!)

Hollow spaces → overwintering shelters for butterflies & beneficial insects

Goldenrod → late blooms for bees & migrating butterflies

Joe-Pye W**d → tall, nectar-rich flowers for Monarchs and pollinators

Native ferns → shady cover for toads and turtles

A brush pile transforms a forgotten corner into a mini-ecosystem, boosting your garden’s wildlife.
