Do you live in the Kenton Neighborhood? Do you want to get your yard certified as a Backyard Habitat? Then join us on Saturday, April 18th!
The Backyard Habitat Certification Program is heading to Kenton. If you’d like an incentive to turn your yard into a healthy environment for wildlife you may be interested in a new program in our Program! The Backyard Habitat Certification Program provides technical assistance to small lot, private property owners to restore native wildlife habitats in their backyard (and front yards too!). The program is a collaboration between the Audubon Society of Portland and Three Rivers Land Conservancy. Kenton will be the first North Portland neighborhood to participate. We’d love to see how many yards we can certify—join us April 18th!
What’s involved? The
program focuses on the removal of aggressive weeds, naturescaping with native
plants, stormwater management and wildlife stewardship.
What’s in it for me? Each participant will receive an onsite, one-on-one consultation with a knowledgeable backyard certification staff person who will provide technical assistance and written recommendations.
You will also receive discounts and incentives for native plants and other items to help you on your way. All this for a $25 fee, due prior to the site visit. Once you’ve completed the recommendations, your yard will be ready to certify and you can proudly display a Certified Backyard Habitat sign!
