Science / Environment
Wildlife managers work to increase or improve habitats for wild animals.
Before habitats are improved, managers need to know how many and what
types of animals are in the habitat. Habitats can be improved by using
several methods.
1. Planting grasses,
shrubs, trees and
other plants.
2. Building watering
areas and ponds.
3. Burning or cutting
dense stands of
trees to improve
grasses and shrubs.
4. Controlling weeds
and poisonous
plants.
