Maple Prairie Habitat
Certified Wildlife Habitat®
Maple Prairie extends beyond the pages of a storybook and into a Certified Wildlife Habitat in Spokane, Washington.
Through small acts of care—planting, providing water, protecting shelter, and making room for wildlife—we are creating a place where nature can thrive.
From pollinators and birds to berries, evergreens, and native plants, each season brings new visitors, new discoveries, and new opportunities to notice, care for, and connect with the natural world.
This habitat is still growing, and so are we.
Rooted in the same spirit found throughout Paisley's Wish, Maple Prairie Habitat is a reminder that when we care for something, we become part of its story.

A little about the author & maker
April Thompson is a writer, maker, founder of Maple Prairie, and a mother who believes the smallest moments often hold the most meaning.
Paisley’s Wish was written slowly, alongside seasons of changing, children growing, and the quiet noticing of everyday life.
Maple Prairie is her way of holding those moments—stories and keepsakes, created as a home for life as it unfolds, season by season.
