Want to spend quality time with your kids or grandkids observing and learning about the animals in your neighborhood? Together you can take a hands-on approach to nature right in your own yard by making it wildlife friendly and certifying it with National Wildlife Federation.
All you need to certify is to provide four basic things wildlife need to survive: food, water, cover, and places to raise young—plus your $15 application fee.
Join the thousands of wildlife enthusiasts across the country who have been recognized for creating havens for neighborhood wildlife in their very own yards. These individuals have provided the essential elements for healthy and sustainable wildlife habitats and have earned the distinction of being part of National Wildlife Federation’s Certified Wildlife Habitat™ program.
When you certify with your application fee of $15, you’ll receive all these great benefits:
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
