National Wildlife Federation is offering a specialized 24-hour training to teach you how to help others create and restore wildlife habitat in backyards, schoolyards, and other private and public areas. This program is engaging, fun and highly informative and you get to meet and interact with local conservation professionals and other similarly interested folks!

Benefits include: an NWF volunteer t-shirt, 24 hours of hands-on training, engaging field trips, a comprehensive training manual with local resources, instruction from local professionals, and continued support from NWF staff.

Expert speakers will present on topics such as:

Rain Gardens

Habitat Restoration
And much more!

Classes will take place every Thursday in February from 6:00-9:00pm, and each class will be hosted at a different King County Library branch location. The exact branch for each training date is as follows: Feb. 2nd at Skyway Library, Feb. 9th at Renton Public Library, Feb. 17th at Renton Highlands Library, and Feb. 23rd at Foster Library. Field trip sessions will be held on two Saturdays (February 11th and 25th), plan on a full day!
