"Going Blue is Going
Green"
February 22, 2008
Hopedale, Mass –
As wildlife habitats are being depleted due to commercial and residential development, as well as many
other factors, various pieces of
the ecological puzzle are being depleted. Loses of these vital components are greatly
affecting the health and existence of our wildlife and our environment. However, there are things
that you can do to help, including adding a wildflower garden, a backyard water garden or a pondless
waterfall to your property. The addition of any of these landscaping features will help restore
some of these missing pieces to the ecosystem and improves the health and welfare of our local
wildlife surroundings.
"You will be amazed at the amount of wildlife that
will be drawn to your new landscape or waterscape,
including many beautiful song birds, butterflies and animals whose habitats
have been disappearing" says
Tom Frost, owner of MetroWest Water Gardens in Hopedale, Mass.
The National Wildlife Federation recognized the beautiful water features
and wonderful landscaping of MetroWest Water Gardens and has certified them as
an official Wildlife Habitat site. The property is home to many plant, animal and fish
species and attracts a variety of birds, butterflies, and other wildlife creatures while helping
protect and improve the local environment.
"We are very happy and excited to be recognized by the National Wildlife Federation
as a Wildlife Habitat site" adds Frost. "Having a beautiful water feature installed in your yard not only increases
the property’s landscaping value, it becomes an ever-changing and welcomed home for Mother Nature’s wildlife."
Frost adds "We have three water gardens on our property currently and have plans to add a new 60' pondless waterfall
in April 2008. Additionally, we have installed over 100 water features across
Massachusetts since 2004, helping to protect wildlife and the environment for both our own and our children’s
future."
