Wildlife Habitat Certification

Q: I’ve heard that homeowners can get their property certified as a Wildlife Habitat. How do I do that?

A: In Colorado, you can certify your property as a wildlife habitat through the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) by providing food, water, cover, and places to raise young, using native plants and sustainable practices, with local support from organizations like the Colorado Wildlife Federation and Wild Birds Unlimited. Communities, schools, and businesses can also join the NWF Community Wildlife Habitat program.
