| Illinois landowners can help wildlife that use
woodlands and other woody habitats in two significant ways:
- Create new forests, fencerows, and other woody cover
- Protect and properly manage existing and newly created woody
habitats
If you have an opportunity to create new woodland
on your property, you should read "Creating New Woody Habitat"
for specifics that will enhance your success, from choosing species
to planting correctly. Every reader, whether you are creating new
woodlands or maintaining or enhancing existing ones, should review
"Protecting and Managing Woody Cover" as well as "Management
Considerations" .
