In conjunction with the National Wildlife Federation, NCWF takes individual properties further by certifying communities as Community Wildlife Habitats. Community Wildlife Habitat program partners include cities, towns, counties, neighborhoods and communities of all kinds to become healthier, greener, and more wildlife-friendly.

Community Wildlife Habitats garden and landscape with wildlife in mind, promote the use of native trees and plants, work to reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides and chemicals, and integrate wildlife-friendly practices into sustainability plans and park master plans. Through this program, your communities can enhance and restore islands and corridors of wildlife habitat in urban and suburban areas nationwide while at the same time connecting to existing work around climate resiliency, community resiliency, urban forestry, water conservation, beautification, and more.
