Mondays with Martha #199 - Wildlife-Friendly Erosion Control Products

This week I share important info about why we need to choose wildlife-friendly erosion control products for our landscape projects and explain what characteristics are needed to make these items safest for wildlife. Special thanks to Carrie Tansy with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Michigan Ecological Services Field Office for suggesting the topic and great resources!
