Gardening for Wildlife



Have you ever considered getting your yard certified as a wildlife habitat? I'm going to do it! According to the questionaire I answered here: http://www.nwf.org/backyard/ , my yard already has everything I need to qualify!


It costs $15.00 when you send in the application, and once you're certified you'll get:


  • A personalized certificate that recognizes your NWF Certified Wildlife
    Habitat™.

  • A free NWF membership which includes a full year’s subscription to the
    award-winning National Wildlife® magazine.

  • A free subscription to the quarterly e-newsletter, Habitats, full
    of insightful tips and information on gardening and attracting wildlife year
    after year.

  • Your name listed in NWF’s National registry of certified habitats…to
    recognize all you’ve done for wildlife.

And, once you complete your application, you’ll be eligible to purchase the “wildly” popular Certified Wildlife Habitat™ yard sign that shows your commitment to conserving wildlife.


All you need to do is provide elements from each of the following areas:



  • Food Sources. For example: Native plants, seeds,
    fruits, nuts, berries, nectar

  • Water Sources. For example: Birdbath, pond, water
    garden, stream

  • Places for Cover. For example: Thicket, rockpile,
    birdhouse

  • Places to Raise Young. For example: Dense shrubs,
    vegetation, nesting box, pond

  • Sustainable Gardening. For example: Mulch,
    compost, rain garden, chemical-free fertilizer
