Get Gardening

Look around your community and you will probably see green areas that could use a little effort to make them more wildlife-friendly. Group projects to rehabilitate or create wildlife habitat can be very rewarding. The joy of digging in for nature is enhanced by the camaraderie of sharing your enthusiasm with others.

A community project for wildlife can be a great focus for service clubs, naturalist or youth groups, or the families on your block. If you already belong to an organization, talk to other members and ask if they're willing to tackle a community project. If you don't already belong to a group, why not organize one? Talk to like-minded friends or neighbours, place an ad in your local newspaper, or put a notice up at the library.
