Our region provides critical habitat for more than 365 species of native fish and wildlife. Habitat loss, noxious plants, introduced animal species, environmental contaminants, and a variety of man-made hazards can make their journey a hazardous one.
The Backyard Habitat Certification Program will help you identify and reduce wildlife hazards in your yard and develop advanced strategies to help locally imperiled species.
