Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary | Ecology | Natural History | Environmental Philosophy

Modern life has disconnected us from our biology and the land. But there is another way.

Welcome to Backyard Biology Boys.

Led by a professional biologist with 20 years of experience, this channel documents our family’s effort to transform three acres of Sierra Nevada hillside into a backyard wildlife sanctuary.

Rather than simply observing nature, we practice active stewardship—treating land not as a resource but as a community to which we belong.

Here you’ll find:

• Backyard Habitat Creation – Projects supporting birds, pollinators, and other native wildlife.

• Wildlife Observations – Trail-camera discoveries, seasonal ecology, and natural history.

• Deliberate Living – Applying the wisdom of thinkers like Henry David Thoreau and Aldo Leopold.

If you believe people belong within nature—not apart from it—you’re in the right place.
