Create a Backyard Wildlife Habitat™

An average lawn can consume over 100,000 gallons of valuable fresh water a year. By converting some grass space to other plantings, you not only save water, but you also create a natural oasis by providing home and food for songbirds, butterflies, and other native species.

The Backyard Wildlife Habitat program was begun by National Wildlife Federation in 1973 and currently has over 50,000 certified sites all over America. Click here to learn more and see how you can create your own habitat!
