As America's largest non-profit conservation organization, the National Wildlife Federation works closely with those who span the social and political spectrum, but who are connected by a common commitment to conservation. Our ability to meet the needs of wildlife is inextricably linked to the over 6 million amazing individuals, groups, organizations and corporations we call our supporters.
Our mission is to unite all Americans to ensure wildlife thrive in a rapidly changing world. Through conservation efforts, grassroots actions, education programs, and award-winning publications (including National Wildlife, Ranger Rick, Ranger Rick Jr., and Ranger Rick Cub) we connect with people across the nation to safeguard America’s wildlife and wild places.

Watching this in 2024 with great appreciation. I will work to get my yard certified. Thank you for addressing the great issue of concern here in TX: mosquitos! I did not realize I could provide water for native species without also providing breeding ground for mosquitoes. Duly noted!
FUCK NWF! What a crooked, criminal do-nothing organization. DO NOT DONATE TO THIS SCAM ORGANIZATION! Nothing but a bunch of loser gay losers. What about that time NWF collaborated with MONSANTO to put the NWF logo on all their products -- so that NWF could get 1,000,000. The jew CEO made that deal. WTF?

I live in Fenelon Falls On, Canada I have and i think its 2nd gereration blonde squirelles Started last year 2023 I seen almost white a squirell running around my backyard. This year there are a new crop of blode squirells but they seems to have ontop of the blonde a sparse coating of black or dark brown. I would think the blonde bred with an ordinaire black or gray squirell Just thought you may like to know.
Thank you ! This was very insightful and very informative! I am thinking of creating a rain garden on my own…too bad this video was done so long ago and nobody has written any comments? I just wanted to say that is so hard to find people who is knowledgeable about the process of building a correct rain garden and also to hire anyone in the landscaping industry! Thank you again🥰
I hope everything planned worked since it has been 5 years since vid was uploaded....i would love to easily find a link to a report of successes within that timeframe....much love and peace and respect...i love every member our family tree here on this curious and beautiful rocky spaceship Earth 💞
Needless to say, David was a delight to work with. And of course Susan made it all possible by allowing us to film in her magical garden surrounded by all manner of native plants, birds and insects.

There was a piece of property in my neighborhood that I loved to drive by and look at. It had the most wonderfully beautiful, natural yard with shrubs and flowers galore; all well maintained and landscaped. There wasn't a single blade of Kentucky bluegrass to be found. It was my idea of the perfect yard and I've tried to emulate it in my own yard. The house went up for sale a while ago and it wasn't long until all of the machines came to dig up and plow under that beautiful yard. Then came the truck with the huge rolls of Kentucky bluegrass sod. It made me so sad. It's just ugly and boring now. Just grass. The vibrant spark of life it had is gone. The house looks lonely now sitting in the midst of all the grass, like it knows what's been lost. I'm going to work harder now to naturescape my yard to make up for it. I felt a great sense of accomplishment when a brood of chickadees fledged from one of my bird houses this Summer. It meant that my yard had enough plants with caterpillars to support them!
I have a niece that did that, too, bought a house with lots of shrubs and trees and removed them all! I am planting many native plants in my 5 acres that used to be a pasture.
So nice to see this. A couple years back I got my mom's 5 acres certified as an NWF backyard habitat and taught her she teaches her neighbors. I learned that many people really do no know they are harming the environment or the importance of planting natives.
I made my yard into a wildlife habitat and have a lot of rabbits and opossums now. Unfortunately the foxes have come to view my yard as a reliable source of food, so every night I have to hear the screaming of the poor bunnies and opossums being killed and pick up their remains in the morning. This has all gone so horribly wrong.
Doug’s advice really works I’ve been planting native Oaks and other native species in my yard for years and I’ve seen species of moths and beetles I’ve never had before. I don’t leave my lights on at night and I don’t mow certain area as and I’ve seen an increase in the population of Lightning Bug Beetles.
I live city of Cerritos CA it a suburb i have pretty decent seize backyard. I would love to have bat & owl box but i now they aren't the best of friends. I would like to get what need more support for my area. Can you possibly help to see what is needed in my area or how I can find out what is needed the most support in my area?

Im surprised All teachers dont teach about animals or bring classs to places like this. Teach compassion an empathy too. This man was into all bad, these birds changed his life!
When it comes to greedy corporations and the types of people who welcome mining to their communities the effect on the planet will always take a back seat, unfortunately.
