The Backyard Wildlife Habitat™ program, since 1973 has shown people of all ages how to make a place for wildlife right in their own yard and throughout their community. A BWH landscape provides food, water, cover, and places to raise young through the use of native plants and other features such as nest boxes and water gardens. NWF will certify your yard or garden space as an official BWH site if you are providing these basic elements of habitat.
