Audubon at Home Wildlife Sanctuary Certification Program: Conservation Begins at Home

Would you like to turn your garden into a welcoming space for birds, butterflies and other native wildlife and help enhance the value of our urban green spaces? The Audubon at Home Wildlife Sanctuary certification program assists homeowners and homeowner associations in recreating and restoring their home and neighborhood’s natural habitat by providing information on sustainable environmental management practices. These practices include using native plants, removing invasive species, reducing use of pesticides and fertilizers, and creating space for native flora and fauna.

Audubon at Home ambassadors, trained Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists, will visit and consult with homeowners on suitable native plants, landscaping, water retention, or other best practices. To learn more about the program in Arlington or Alexandria, please send an email or call 703 980-2258. Volunteer ambassadors will arrange a site visit and talk with you about ways to enhance habitat in your garden.
