Conservation – Nebraska Wildlife Federation

Garden for Nebraska Wildlife

Nebraska Wildlife Federation partners with the National Wildlife Federation to Garden for Wildlife™, America's largest, longest-running movement dedicated to helping local wildlife and wild spaces. Whether you are interested in planting a garden at your home, school, place of worship, or some other area in your community, NWF’s Garden for Wildlife™ program can help you get started! Protect pollinator populations and other species by creating a wildlife habitat garden that provides 5 key elements: Food, Water, Cover, Places to Raise Young and Sustainable Practices.

Recognize your yard, balcony container garden, schoolyard, work landscape, or roadside greenspace as a Certified Wildlife Habitat and help replenish resources for pollinators and other wildlife in Nebraska.

Nebraska Master Naturalist

Nebraska Wildlife Federation joined with other Nebraska organizations and agencies to create the Master Naturalist program in our state. If you want to learn about wildlife and our natural world, meet people who share your passion for the outdoors, and give back to the Federation and your community through volunteer opportunities, the Nebraska Master Naturalist Program is for you!

Volunteers get more than 60 hours of hands-on, science-based natural resources training taught in the field. Learn about Nebraska’s ecosystems, plants and animals, conservation biology, natural history and much more.
