Island Gateway: A National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat

We are proud to announce that the Island Gateway project has been recognized by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) as a Certified Wildlife Habitat.  The NWF works to protect wildlife habitat nation wide and part of their program includes certifying “mini-refuges” in private gardens and campuses.  Being a NWF Certified Wildlife Habitat, for the Island Gateway, is about having a functional, thriving community, while still providing natural areas for wildlife. Thanks to “conscientious planning and construction, landscaping and sustainable gardening, wildlife may find quality habitat – food, water, cover and places to raise their young.”
