Washington Borough Joins Movement to Become a Wildlife-Friendly Community

The community of Washington Borough, Warren County, NJ has launched a partnership with the National Wildlife Federation’s Community Wildlife Habitat™ program to become healthier, greener, and more wildlife-friendly by committing to create wildlife habitat throughout the community while also educating and engaging residents.

Since 1973, the National Wildlife Federation has provided millions of people with the basic guidelines for making their landscapes more hospitable for wildlife. To date, through the Certified Wildlife Habitat™ program, the National Wildlife Federation has certified more than 250,000 sites including yards, schools, businesses, community gardens, parks, and places of worship. Each of these sites provides the four basic elements that all wildlife need to thrive: food, water, cover and places to raise young, while integrating sustainable gardening and landscaping practices.

To become certified as a National Wildlife Federation Community Wildlife Habitat™ Washington Borough is calling on its residents, businesses, and places of worship to certify their own properties at NWF.org/Certify
