PGAS’s Wildlife Habitat Program
Concerned about the loss of habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife? Want to make a difference by creating beneficial and beautiful habitat on your own property? Need a jumpstart?
This transformation took place at a home in Mount Rainier, MD. The “after” provides much more, for both wildlife and the human eye.
How can you participate?
Sign up for a free garden consultation, or if you have wildlife gardening or naturalist experience, consider being trained as a habitat advisor.

Even a container garden is a big help to birds, pollinators, and other beneficial insects.
THIS IS WHAT HOMEOWNERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
“I’ve been thinking and reading about natural habitats. It was good to actually talk to someone in person.”
“The visit really helped me focus in on my beginning priorities. I’m an absolute beginner, and didn't know where to start. The habitat advisors helped me feel more calm and confident.”
“Having someone listen to me and talk about my specific yard was helpful.”
“This program feels like it’s given us a foundation we can build on.”
