Critter Kits: Home Sweet Habitat: Forests

A habitat is an animal’s home, or the place where they live. Habitats are made up of the four resources that all animals need to survive: food, water, shelter and space. Without these four components, our native wildlife would not be able to persist. Habitat can be found all throughout Rhode Island. It can be large or small, wet or dry and can even be an urban backyard!
