Newark Becomes the 78th City to Earn a Community Wildlife Habitat Certification

168 public and private spaces in Newark have been declared by the National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. To achieve that designation, a yard must provide four things for wildlife: food, water, cover and a place for animals to raise their young.

Enough private gardens and public spaces have been certified in Newark that the city itself is now a Certified Community Wildlife Habitat. Newark is only the 78th city to be certified and the second in the state of Delaware, after Townsend.
