Metro San Diego Clubs & Organizations National Wildlife Federation/ San Diego County Meet The Habitat Stewards What Do The National Wildlife Federation Habitat Stewards Do? Habitat Stewards are part of a community-based volunteer program that assists others in their area in the creation and restoration of wildlife habitat. There are five main ways the Habitat Stewards serve as mentors in the community: * Working with community members to create Backyard Wildlife Habitats. * Assisting in the creation of Schoolyard Habitats. * Speaking with local clubs and organizations about the importance of habitat suitable for wildlife. * Writing articles about creating habitat for newspapers and newsletters. * Promoting the Backyard Wildlife Habitat program at special events. Are You Interested in Becoming a Habitat Steward? When you become a habitat steward you will learn how to create a home for wildlife in your community. Through the unique Habitat Stewards program you'll be trained to assist with the development and implementation of habitat restoration projects in your community. You'll be given all the critical tools you need to create habitat enhancement sites in backyards, schools, or other locations in your community. If you have a keen interest in the environment and a willingness to dedicate a little time and expertise to help members of your community create or restore wildlife habitat...then becoming a habitat steward is right for you. A strong desire to help kids and adults develop a healthy, sustainable environment is the main ingredient to success in this popular program. Once you are certified as an NWF habitat Steward you will work on a variety of projects. Some may involve: researching and helping locate native plant nurseries, working with community members to design a habitat site, promoting the program and lending your expertise at special events, writing articles about creating habitat for local newspapers and community organization newsletters, and giving a presentation about creating wildlife habitats. Habitat stewards learn through 24 hours of class time over a period of 3 to 6 weeks which includes hands-on training in the development of a wildlife habitat site and sessions taught by local experts. Habitat stewards are the local "movers and shakers" in a community. Whereas most people care about the environment, habitat stewards go out at the grassroots level and work on specific projects.
