WJJMS a Certified Wildlife Habitat site
Guess what?  This past July, the National Wildlife Federation announced that our property, located at 360 Norwich Avenue, Colchester, CT is now recognized as an official Certified Wildlife Habitat site.  The property attracts a variety of birds, butterflies and other wildlife, while helping to protect the local environment.  With the help of the National Wildlife Federation, many habitat enthusiasts have turned their yards and other garden spaces into enticing wildlife refuges.

The majority of Certified Wildlife Habitat sites represent the personal commitment of individuals and families to provide important refuge for wildlife near their homes, but NWF has also certified more than 3,300 schools and hundreds of business and community sites.  Certified habitats can be found everywhere from restaurants, hospitals, and places of worship to community parks, corporate buildings and municipal facilities.  The average habitat is between 1/3 and 1/2 acre, but certified sites can vary from urban balconies to thousand-acre areas.

Habitat restoration and preservation is critical in urban and suburban settings where commercial and residential development encroaches on natural wildlife areas, limiting the availability of resources wildlife need to survive and thrive.  In addition to providing for wildlife, certified habitats conserve our natural resources by reducing or eliminating the need for fertilizers, pesticides and/or irrigation water, which ultimately protects the air, soil and water throughout our communities.

Congratulations to WJJMS!
