Enrollment in the Backyard Habitat Certification Program is offered on a sliding scale so that everyone can participate, regardless of household income, in creating a thriving habitat. This one-time payment helps cover some of our program costs, including initial site visits and follow-up certification visits.

While the average direct cost for a participant to complete their journey through the program is $250, we encourage you to pay the amount that is both meaningful and affordable to you. Paying on the higher end helps support our ability to offer sliding-scale enrollment to your neighbors, but any amount supports our collective effort of increasing habitat connectivity and fostering more climate resiliency in our region.

We are deeply grateful for every contribution and for our 25+ regional funding partners, whose support helps us offer sliding-scale enrollment throughout our service area.

No matter the amount you choose, you’ll receive the complete program experience along with all our resources and follow-up services.
