Creating and Restoring Wildlife Habitats

Alongside our grassroots efforts to advocate for clean air, clean water, and ecosystem protection, the National Wildlife Federation works to create new habitat and restore damaged areas through our wildlife gardening and tree planting programs.

The National Wildlife Federation's efforts include responding to critical habitat restoration needs after natural and environmental disasters.

Planting Trees for Wildlife

Through our Trees for Wildlife™ program, the National Wildlife Federation connects trees to tree planters, throwing in fun, hands-on activities and rewards to boot. Designed for scout troops, school groups and other youth organizations, this program helps young people learn about the importance of trees and how to plant and take care of them for the future. The National Wildlife Federation organizes events and also provides trees to other groups.

Where We Work

More than one-third of U.S. fish and wildlife species are at risk of extinction in the coming decades. We're on the ground in seven regions across the country, collaborating with 52 state and territory affiliates to reverse the crisis and ensure wildlife thrive.
