The Wildlife Gardens and Habitats Program promotes public awareness of the importance of healthy wildlife habitats and ecosystems in our local community by leading projects to install native plants, trees, and wildlife habitat structures. Volunteers work with local public parks, schools, and preserves to coordinate local activities aligned with related NCWF programs, such as Clean and Green, Butterfly Highway, Wildlife Habitat certification, and Schoolyard Habitats.
Adopt-a-Spot
The Wildlife Gardens and Habitats Committee is seeking volunteers to help care for pollinator gardens and nesting boxes installed across the Triangle. Adopt‑A‑Spot volunteers assist with light, seasonal maintenance such as weeding, mulching, replanting, minor repairs, and spring and fall cleanouts. Volunteers are also welcome to observe and track pollinator and nesting activity throughout the season.
SWC will provide support for materials and maintenance costs. If you are interested, please complete the short survey below to indicate which sites you would like to adopt. The Committee will follow up with site‑specific details, access information, and next steps.
Thank you for helping keep our gardens and nesting sites healthy and thriving.
