Event Description
The National Wildlife Federation’s Annual Garden for Wildlife Month offers home gardeners, wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists a chance to join together with millions of their peers across the nation and help support species in their backyards.
“From butterflies to birds and everything in between, species are facing unprecedented threats to their survival. Garden for Wildlife Month offers Americans a critical way they can support wildlife in their locality” said Mary Phillips, senior director of the Garden for Wildlife program. “We at the National Wildlife Federation are inspired by the millions who are making simple changes to their outdoor spaces — from whole landscaped areas to a few planters — to support pollinators, birds and other wildlife. You can make a difference when you plant with purpose.”
An estimated 7 million people are expected to participate in Garden for Wildlife this year, with highest participation levels during May, Garden for Wildlife Month — making it the nation’s largest and longest-running effort dedicated to helping wildlife locally. In the United States alone, a million acres a year are engulfed by expanding urban and suburban development. Taylor Morrison, a leading homebuilder and developer, is Garden for Wildlife’s newest partner, teaming up with National Wildlife Federation to restore and protect wildlife habitat in the homebuilder’s communities nationwide while engaging staff, residents and the public in accessible and effective wildlife restoration efforts.
