Certify Your Habitat to Help Wildlife!

Wildlife habitat gardens are a haven for local birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. By transforming your space, you can certify it as a Certified Wildlife Habitat® through the National Wildlife Federation. This recognition highlights your commitment to restoring habitats and providing essential resources for wildlife.

Creating a wildlife habitat garden is simple and rewarding. Your garden should include:

• Food: Native plants that provide nourishment for a variety of wildlife.

• Water: Accessible sources for drinking, bathing, and breeding.

• Cover: Safe spaces for shelter from weather and predators.

• Places to Raise Young: Resources that allow wildlife to reproduce and care for their offspring.

• Sustainable Practices: Natural gardening methods that promote clean air, water, and soil.

Once certified, you can proudly display an exclusive Certified Wildlife Habitat® sign to showcase your efforts and inspire others to join the movement.
