Certify and Plant a Tree for Wildlife

Martin,

Spring is here… and it’s baby season for wildlife! Help wildlife this spring by providing a safe place for wildlife to bear and raise their young. By providing food, water, cover, and places to raise young the National Wildlife Federation will recognize your garden or landscape as an official Certified Wildlife Habitat®. Certify today, and we’ll plant a tree for wildlife in your honor.

Here are a few ways you can provide wildlife with a place to raise their young:

  • Use native plants in your garden. Butterflies and moths need native plants such as milkweed, oak, willow, and elm for their caterpillars to grow.
  • Create a backyard pond and provide frogs and other amphibians a place to lay their eggs and for tadpoles to grow into adults.
  • Birds nest in tree branches or in cavities in dead or decaying tree snags. Protect mature trees, keep snags standing, and plant new trees.
  • Provide a brush pile as shelter for rabbits, foxes, lizards, and a variety of other wildlife to nest and raise their young.

By providing food, water, cover, and places for wildlife to raise their young you are eligible to have your yard recognized as a Certified Wildlife Habitat®. When you certify, you’ll join over 258,000 gardeners across America who provide safe places for wildlife to thrive. And when you certify nowyou’ll give a native tree to a community or school that will plant and care for it.

Certify today!

Thank you for all you do for wildlife.

   

Sincerely,

David Mizejewski
NWF Naturalist
