Here are some ways you can take action for wildlife.
Plant native seeds to support wildlife, and increase habitat
Certifying your yard or garden, big or small, is a great way to help wildlife. We would be happy to talk with you about NCWF's various certifications for public and private lands. NCWF has certified more than 10,000 habitats across the state that provide wildlife with food, shelter, water and places to raise young. Wildlife habitat is being developed at a tremendous rate. This impacts species like monarch butterflies, which declined more than 90 percent in the last 20 years. Planting native seeds helps pollinators like monarchs survive. You can support pollinators and other wildlife by planting the NCWF seed mix or posting NCWF Butterfly Highway signs to promote conservation and conversations about wildlife habitat in your neighborhood.

NCWF Wildlife Community Chapters empower members to take action on behalf of wildlife and habitat through educational events, volunteer projects, and advocacy. This ever-growing, statewide chapter network engages more than 2,500 North Carolinians locally for wildlife.
Triad Wild! will offer programming on varied educational topics such as local animals, the unique ecosystems of the Piedmont, the Butterfly Highway program, safe passage corridors for wildlife, natural resource protections, and diversity in the environmental movement. We will schedule volunteer projects that support and enhance our community by restoring and certifying native habitats, and removing litter. We will strive to foster a connection to nature for not only our members, but also young people and anyone in our community. We will create opportunities for individuals to experience wildlife and nature and to sometimes simply meet up at a local brewery or coffee shop to discuss wildlife! Our purpose is not to re-create or duplicate the work of the environmental organizations already in existence locally, but rather to partner with and amplify the message of these organizations.
