The Southwest Florida Water Management District gives great tips on making the most of your Southwest Florida property.

Bays and waterways contribute to the quality of life in Florida. Waterfront owners can help protect these fragile natural treasures by following these tips:

• Never prune mangroves or remove any vegetation without first seeking proper permits and guidelines.
• Establish a maintenance-free zone of at least 10 feet between your landscape and a water body.
• Remove invasive exotic aquatic plants by cutting, pulling or raking.
• Plant a buffer zone of low-maintenance plants between your lawn and shoreline to absorb nutrients and to provide wildlife habitat.

Friendly visitors, like butterflies and beneficial insects, will enjoy your landscape if you provide food, water and cover. Attract wildlife by following these tips:

• Plant vines, shrubs and trees to create cover, nesting areas and food.
• Provide a water source such as a birdbath or a small pond.
• Provide wildlife shelters such as a bat house, birdhouse or brush pile.
• Protect the health of wildlife visitors. Limit pesticide use by spot-treating only the areas that need attention.
• Consider including native plants in your landscape. They are the natural food, shelter and nesting plants of our local wildlife.
