Wildscapes: Best of Texas Backyard Habitat Certification

What are the essentials?

The Best of Texas Backyard Habitats Program was a joint effort of the National Wildlife Federation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department that allowed Texans to certify under both programs with a single form. Best of Texas Backyard Habitat took the best of the two individual programs and pushed the bar a little higher, challenging Texas wildlife gardeners to create a habitat that seeks to maximize wildlife benefits and highlight sound conservation stewardship within the bounds of urban restrictions.
