   Susan Campbell of Holly Springs said it is easier to garden for wildlife than you think. A lifelong advocate for wildlife, Campbell was a volunteer employee of the NC Federation. When she and Sabrina Thompson, program director and naturalist at Bass Lake, met through their mutual interest in the Wildlife Federation, they agreed that Bass Lake would be a wonderful spring board location to introduce the Habitat Steward program to this area. All that is required of wildlife habitat gardeners is to provide a place where birds or animals can get food, water, shelter and a place to raise their young.
   
   With growing concern about urban sprawl, this is one way an individual can make a difference. The Habitat Steward program has been growing from Charlotte to western North Carolina, Campbell said. "We want it to grow just as strongly from Raleigh to the east."
   
   When Campbell discovered the Habitat Steward's book she said, "This is the answer. It's not asking much of anyone." There are 38 million gardeners in the United States. If each of them used a tenth of an acre as a wildlife habitat garden, there would be 3.8 million acres of habitat, Campbell said.
   
   Campbell has worked as a landscaper and has been gardening for wildlife for years. "Anyone can do it," she said. "It's a balm to the soul to see this happening."
   
   "We're both very excited about this," Campbell and Thompson said.
