Subject: Certify your yard as a wildlife habitat!

 

Help Benton County become the first in Oregon
to be certified as a Community Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation! 

Join the Backyard Wildlife Connections Team in achieving this goal. In order for Benton County to be certified, we need 200 backyards, six common areas, and five schools to register with the National Wildlife Federation. Here’s how you can help:

TRANSFORM your outdoor space into wildlife friendly habitat by providing these four basic elements (it’s easy!):

Food
Water
Cover
Places to raise young

GET CERTIFIED by visiting www.nwf.org/gardenforwildlife and registering your habitat*. Whether you register or not, this site gives plenty of helpful tips for transforming your yard into a wildlife-friendly place.

(*$20.00 application fee to NWF)

BENEFITS for wildlife and YOU! Upon certification of your wildlife habitat you will receive:

A personalized certificate including your name and the name of your wildlife habitat
A one-year membership to NWF which includes subscription to National Wildlife magazine
A subscription to Wildlife Online – Habitats newsletter
Inclusion in NWF’s national Registry of Habitats
Inclusion toward Benton County’s certification as Oregon’s FIRST Community Wildlife Habitat by NWF

Co-sponsors of this project are the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition, Chintimini Wildlife Center, Willamette Gardens, Greenbelt Land Trust, Corvallis Audubon Society, OSU Extension, and Benton County Natural Areas.
