How to Get Certified
Are you on the map?
NatureScape Broward recognizes certifications from the National Wildlife Federation’s Community Wildlife Habitat Program and/or the University of Florida’s Florida Yards & Neighborhoods program. Once you complete certification through either program, your NatureScape will be added to this map.
Choose the program that best fits your yard.
1. National Wildlife Federation (NWF) emphasizes creation of habitat within environmentally-friendly yards. Has this been your goal, too? If so, go to:
