What is a Community Certification?
A Community Wildlife Habitat is an area where residents, businesses, schools, and parks work together to create a welcoming environment for local wildlife. It involves implementing practices such as using native plants, reducing pesticide use, and providing food, water, and shelter for wildlife. This collaborative effort aims to support biodiversity and create sustainable, wildlife-friendly communities. Community certification refers to the recognition given to a community by the National Wildlife Federation for its efforts in creating wildlife-friendly environments and promoting conservation practices. Help us get the City of Johns Creek certified as a Community Wildlife Habitat by certifying your yard, local park, schoolyard or even your workplace landscape.
