Nothing wrong with helping them out when you can. I gave up 70% of my garden to build a shelter area for them. I have a couple water dishes out when the temp. gets really high. I'll water an area in the back so they have a place to catch worms. I hope one of my kids keeps the house after I'm gone to continue caring for the wild population.
