Certify my property now!
On November 9, 2005, Arlington reached its goal of becoming a certified community wildlife habitat project. Read more about the ceremony celebrating this accomplishment and the 2005 Neighborhood Challenge, a contest to identify Arlington's most wildlife-friendly civic association.
The Arlington Community Wildlife Habitat Project will continue its mission to encourage citizens to create habitat landscapes throughout Arlington to benefit its people, plants and wildlife through outreach and educational programs over the next few years.

There are many ways you can get involved:
- Certify your yard, apartment balcony, school, workplace, church, or community site through the National Wildlife Federation's Backyard Habitat program.
- Tell the Arlington Community Wildlife Habitat team about your wildlife habitat in progress or certified wildlife habitat site. Send us pictures and we'll post your site on this web site. Let us know if you need help or resources.
- Join our team! Attend the monthly Community Wildlife Habitat Project Team meetings. Contact the ACE office at office@arlingtonenvironment.org for meeting dates and times.
- Hook up with other wildlife habitat projects underway in Arlington or help to develop new projects. Contact ACE for a current list of wildlife habitat projects that need your help.
