Habitat StewardsTM

Habitat StewardsTM is a program for people who want to help improve habitats for wildlife. You may have a small yard, many acres of land, or no yard at all, but if you're interested in bringing beauty and health to the landscape and improving conditions for wildlife where you live and work, the Habitat StewardsTM Program is for you.

Habitat Stewards help improve wildlife habitat in their communities by committing to 30 hours of volunteer activities in exchange for 30 hours of training by conservation experts. Habitat Stewards come from varied backgrounds with different interests and have fun learning together. Many continue to participate in the program even after completing their volunteer hours.

Habitat StewardsTM is a volunteer program of the National Wildlife Federation® and, in Maine, is a joint effort with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension.

If you live on the water, consider becoming a Watershed Steward. If you love gardening, consider becoming a Master Gardener Volunteer.
