From the Inbox - Help us certify 150,000 habitats

Dear Friend, Time’s running out to meet our goal! National Wildlife Federation set the ambitious goal to certify 150,000 backyards as Certified Wildlife Habitat™ sites by the end of 2010. And we’re close to meeting that number, thanks to generous friends of wildlife like you! Help us meet our goal — certify your yard today! Many wildlife species are already benefiting from established Certified Wildlife Habitat™ sites. But so many more — in neighborhoods just like yours — still need someone to provide them with essentials like food, water, shelter and places to raise their young. By turning your backyard into an official NWF Certified Wildlife Habitat™ site, we’ll help you create a beautiful garden that attracts and provides for birds, butterflies and other critters year-round. In addition, you’ll join thousands of other nature enthusiasts in our nationwide movement to certify 150,000 yards. When you certify for just $20 today, you’ll receive many other benefits too! (see sidebar to right) And as a special, limited time offer, you’ll also receive an adorable goldfinch plush — with our thanks! After a long, hot summer, there’s no better time than now to rejuvenate your yard. Turn it into a lush haven for wildlife by creating a Certified Wildlife Habitat™ site today! Sincerely, David Mizejewski NWF Naturalist, Media Spokesperson, Author
