The Gardeners of Crooked Billet are pleased to announce that their garden in Eaton Park has been certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Wildlife Habitat. Below is the NWF news release:
Hatboro, Pa (March 13, 2014). The National Wildlife Federation is pleased to recognize that the Gardeners of Crooked Billet and the Hatboro Borough Council have successfully created an official Certified Wildlife Habitat site at Eaton Park, on Moreland Road, Hatboro. Eaton Park provides a habitat for birds, butterflies, frogs and other wildlife by providing essential elements needed by all wildlife—natural food sources, clean water, cover and places to raise young.
“Providing a home for wildlife in our communities, whether it’s at home, at schools, businesses, or parks, is the demonstration of a healthy and active eco-system. There is no more rewarding way to stay connected to nature right outside your door,” said David Mizejewski, naturalist with the National Wildlife Federation.
This new certified habitat joins NWF’s roll of more than 150,000 certified habitats nationwide. Wildlife habitats are important to year-round wildlife residents as well as species that migrate, such as some birds and butterflies. Each habitat is unique for both beauty and function.
