    I am looking for the names of local native trees, shrubs and perennials that attract wildlife. I would also like to know which species of birds or butterflies are attracted to these plants. Thanks for the help, I am designing a native/wildlife garden in the UBC area for a Landscape Architecture studio project. Cecilia

    Hi Cecilia,

    You could do a search at www.google.com with the terms:
    butterflies + British Columbia
    native trees + British Columbia

    I'm sure you'll find lots of links. :-)

    Also check this link to a great home-grown program - NatureScape BC

    Good resources that are aimed at homeowners who want to use native plants to provide habitat for our local critters!
