How Can Kids Garden for Wildlife?
DID YOU KNOW?
BEES are responsible for one of every three bites you eat!
They pollinate flowers to help grow new fruits and vegetables--such as apples and melons, potatoes and beans.
There are about 4,000 different kinds of BEES in North America. Most don't even sting!
Visit BEE FRIENDLY to discover how YOU can help bees in YOUR wildlife habitat.

BATS are your friends!
They gobble up zillions of pesky pests such as mosquitoes and insects that damage crops.
They are also the world's only flying mammals!
Visit GO BATTY to find out how to help bats keep bugs from bugging YOU in YOUR wildlife habitat.

If you plant FLOWERS, they will come!
Who will come? BIRDS! BEES! BUTTERFLIES!

DID YOU KNOW?
HUMMINGBIRDS may eat two or three times their weight in nectar every day! Hummingbirds burn energy faster than any other animal on the planet. Some hummingbirds beat their wings 80 times a second and zoom up to 40 miles per hour!
Keep hummers humming in YOUR wildlife habitat. Visit LOVE THOSE HUMMERS.
Have a Habitat? Certify it!
Once you have helped make a home for wildlife in your backyard, you and an adult can make it an official National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat™.
