Matthews NC to Become Community Wildlife Habitat
Matthews NC to Become Community Wildlife Habitat
The Town of Matthews NC is about to embark on campaign to become one of only thirty-five municipalities nationwide that are certified Community Wildlife Habitats. This certification is earned from the National Wildlife Federation. The Matthews campaign will be called “Matthews Naturally”.
The “Matthews Naturally” campaign will be led by HAWK, the local chapter of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation. The entire town, including town government, schools, churches, businesses and homeowners, will work to preserve wildlife and give the animals places for living and raising their young.
Matthews NC will become certified as a Community Wildlife Habitat by earning 450 points toward goals that include a certain number of homeowner Backyard Wildlife Habitats, Schoolyard Wildlife Habitats, educational programs, environmental projects and environmental websites. HAWK members note that the town already has earned a number of points toward the certification as there are a number of homeowners who have Backyard Wildlife Habitats already.
