The Sonoma County Wildlife Habitat Project (under the guidelines of the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) Community Habitat Program) is in need of volunteers for help to promote the goals of establishing 500 wildlife habitat sites in Sonoma County (We have already been successful in establishing over 200 so far in less than a year and a half). Help is needed in doing office work, fundraising, grant writing, helping with booths and presentations, training to be NWF volunteers, and talking with your neighbors/friends about becoming involved. Each year in the summer we hope to have a celebration picnic gathering together those who are caretakers or owners of established sites and for those who potentially might want to have their homes, businesses, or schools involved as wildlife habitat sites. We also hope to branch out into larger stream, river, and tributary revitalization projects as grants open to us to develop. What started as one backyard became a county-wide project. Volunteers are needed to help in the overall program. If you would like to be involved in making your own home, business or school into a NWF Wildlife Habitat check out https://www.nwf.org and follow the links to Backyard Habitat. It is a SIMPLE process and fun to do!<o:p></o:p>
