NWF certifies new wildlife habitat in Jefferson
THE NATIONAL Wildlife Federation
(NWF) announces that the property of
David and Cindy Johnson, located in
Jefferson, is now recognized as an offi
cial Certified Wildlife Habitat site. The
property attracts a variety of birds, but
terflies and other wildlife, while helping
to protect the local environment. With the
help of NWF, many habitat enthusiasts
have turned their yards and other garden
spaces into enticing wildlife refuges.
NWF began the Wildlife Habitat certi
fication program in 1973, and has since
certified over 122,000 habitats nation
wide. The majority of these sites rep
resent the hard work and commitment
of individuals and families providing
habitat near their homes, but NWF has
also certified more than 3,000 schools
and hundreds of business and community
sites.
Any habitat enthusiast can create a
certified habitat and learn the rewards of
gardening for wildlife. NWF teaches the
importance of environmental steward
ship by providing guidelines for making
landscapes more hospitable to wildlife.
In order to become certified, a property
must provide the four basic elements that
all wildlife need: food, water, cover and
places to raise young; and must employ
sustainable gardening practices. More
information about gardening for wildlife
is available at www.nwf.org/habitat or by
calling 1-800-822-9919.
Creating habitats not only helps wild
life, it can help reduce global warm
ing pollution and save energy costs as
well. Burning fossil fuels to heat and
cool our homes and maintain our lawns
releases carbon dioxide into the atmo
sphere, which is the main greenhouse
gas responsible for global warming.
Replacing lawns with strategically locat
ed trees and other native vegetation can
insulate our homes from heat, cold and
wind, reducing our heating and cool
ing needs and thus our carbon dioxide
emissions. More information about how
gardeners can reduce the effects of global
warming can be found at www.nwf.org/
gardenersguide.
David Mizejewski, NWF Naturalist
and host of the Animal Planet series
“Backyard Habitat,” says, “It's easy to
feel that there is no hope for wildlife in
our modern world of smog, traffic and
asphalt. But there is hope. Each of us
can make our own piece of the Earth a
healthy, green space that helps restore the
ecological balance. Encouraging your
neighbors to join with you can lead to a
neighborhood or community habitat that
provides wildlife with greater incentive
to call your piece of the earth home.”
Participants who achieve certifica
tion receive membership in the National
Wildlife Federation, including a one-
year subscription to the award-winning
National Wildlife magazine with inspir
ing wildlife articles and amazing nature
photography. They also receive a person
alized certificate and quarterly e-newslet-
ters, and are eligible to purchase NWF’s
special outdoor sign designating their
yard or garden as wildlife-friendly. Most
states also host a NWF Affiliate office,
which may offer additional resources and
information about your state's wildlife
and joint habitat certification programs.
A guide to the affiliates can be found at
www.nwf.org/about/affiliates.cfm.
NWF currently offers the most com
prehensive guide to date on gardening for
wildlife, authored by Mizejewski. The
128-page “Attracting Birds, Butterflies
and Other Backyard Wildlife” won the
Independent Book Publishers Association
2005 award for Best Gardening/
Agriculture Book of the Year. It is full
of practical, how-to information to make
your yard a wildlife haven and certify
your property as an official NWF Wildlife
Habitat site. The book costs $12.95 and
is available at www.shopnwf.org.
For more information about the new
NWF Certified Wildlife Habitat, contact
David and Cindy Johnson at 706-367-
