rs NWF has been working with partners, city residents, and schools to create more wildlife habitat in the city. Along with our partners, including the National Aquarium, Blue Water Baltimore, and the Maryland Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education, we are working to certify Baltimore as the largest Community Wildlife Habitat® in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. With nearly 500 Certified Wildlife Habitats® at homes, schools, and community spaces across the city, we are 94% of the way there and hope cross the finish line in 2018.
Over the next year, we are working with nine other schools to create a network of Schoolyard Habitats in southwest Baltimore City. If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please contact Avalon Bristow at BristowA@nwf.org, Holly Shields at ShieldsH@nwf.org, or Linn Bumpers BumpersL@nwf.org.
