Jericho Habitat Garden Network

Jericho is going WILD!

Are you interested in making your garden landscape more friendly for wildlife such as pollinators, birds, and others?

The Jericho Conservation Commission has created this page to provide educational materials and methods for homeowners who want to improve the ecological benefits that their gardens provide.

Small changes you make in your garden can have a big impact for birds, butterflies, and other pollinators. If enough of us take part we can create a network of gardens to make connected habitats for wildlife.

If you create a habitat garden please let us know by placing a pin on the map (click on the "Map" tab below).

Homegrown "National Park"

Have you transformed part of your garden into wildlife friendly habitat? Join the free Homegrown National Park effort founded by Doug Tallamy, author of Nature's Best Hope, which invites everyone to add native plants to their home landscapes and add their efforts to the collective map.
"Our National Parks, no matter how grand in scale are too small and separated from one another to preserve species to the levels needed. Thus, the concept for Homegrown National Park™, a bottom-up call-to-action to restore habitat where we live and work, and to a lesser extent where we farm and graze, extending national parks to our yards and communities.” - Doug Tallamy
Doing this provides the ecological networks that connect preserved habitat fragments with one another sustainably enlarging populations of plants and animals.
The map will be a community-based visual that will show each person’s individual contribution to planting native. The HGNP Map will gauge the success of reaching our goal of 20 million acres of native planting in the United States! Help us by getting Jericho represented on the map.
