Certify Wildlife Habitat

Anyone can create a welcoming haven for local wildlife. Turning your yard, balcony, container garden, schoolyard, work landscape, or roadside greenspace into a Certified Wildlife Habitat® is fun, easy, and can make a lasting difference for wildlife.

How You're Helping Wildlife

Rapid and large-scale changes to our lands and waters mean wildlife are losing the habitats they once knew. Every habitat garden is a step toward replenishing resources for wildlife such as bees, butterflies, birds, and amphibians—both locally and along migratory corridors.

Check out our Create & Certify section that gives certification options for home, school, work, and places of worship.
