Ewing, NJ
Mercer
The goal of Ewing’s Community Wildlife Habitat Project is to encourage the creation of landscape habitats using the National Wildlife Federation’s Community Wildlife Habitat Certification Program.
Project Goals
-
Encourage homeowners and businesses to create wildlife habitats and connections on their own properties.
-
Promote native plants that will support biodiversity, attract a variety of wildlife and require less water and care than most non-native plants.
-
Minimize/eliminate use of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers; as wildlife is sensitive, directly and indirectly, to chemical exposure through their food supply. This will also reduce toxic runoff into our local watersheds and the Delaware River.
-
Achieve community certification through the National Wildlife Federation’s Community Wildlife Habitat program
