Re: NWF habitat certification

You might be surprised.  The minimum requirement is only that you have or
provide in some way food, shelter, and
water - if we all waited until the reality equaled the vision there wouldn't
be anyone in the program.

If you have lots of wildlife, any kind, then your yard already has
attributes making it a backyard habitat (the critters think so) - you should
get your property certified and be counted as part of the group!
