Poolesville

Leading a nationwide trend in community concern for habitat loss, the Town of Poolesville, Maryland, has been officially designated an NWF Community Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). The town is the 120th community in the country and the 8th community in Maryland to receive this honor. NWF’s Certified Wildlife Habitat program has been helping people take personal action on behalf of wildlife for more than 40 years. The program engages homeowners, businesses, schools, places of worship, and other institutions that want to make their communities wildlife-friendly by creating multiple habitat areas in backyards, schoolyards, corporate properties, community gardens, parkland and other spaces.
