WILDLIFE HABITAT


Have your children, young or old, certify your backyard into a wildlife habitat!!! This shows responsibility, educates about local wildlife, shows commitment, creates a character of sharing and caring, and so many other wonderful attributes!!!

Anyone can creae a welcoming haven for local wildlife. Turning your yard, balcony container garden, schoolyard, work landscape, or roadside greenspace into a Certified Wildlife Habitat is fun, easy, and can make a lasting difference for wildlife.

Rapid and large-scale changes to our lands and waters mean wildlife are losing the habitats they once knew. Every habitat garden is a step toward replenishing resources for wildlife such as bees, butterflies, birds, and amphibians—both locally and along migratory corridors. By adding pollinator-friendly and monarch-friendly plants when you certify, your garden also counts toward the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge.

Certification Requirements

Certified Wildlife Habitat® applicants are asked to confirm they’ve provided the required number of elements for each of the following:
  1. Food
  2. Water
  3. Cover
  4. Places to Raise Young
  5. Sustainable Practices
