What Parents Need to Know
About Backyard Habitat
Parents need to know that this show transforms backyard settings across the country into safe habitats for local flora and fauna. It's an excellent program for junior nature-buffs or budding landscape contractors, and the producers do a fair job of covering a varied range of backyard settings. Both language and content are appropriate for all ages, though there's some discussion of creating safe places in the backyard for animals to mate that might prompt questions.
