The Town's Environment & Open Space Committee Invites Applications for this Year's Backyard Habitat Program Award!

Your backyard may be doing more for wildlife than you realize. Native plants, wildlife-friendly fencing, natural creek corridors, and open habitat help animals move safely through Woodside and connect with surrounding open space. If you've created a place where nature can thrive, consider applying for a Woodside Backyard Habitat Award before September 15.

The Town of Woodside Backyard Habitat Program recognizes residents who help preserve and restore wildlife habitat on their property. Recipients receive a beautiful, forged metal Backyard Habitat sign and the satisfaction of helping protect the wildlife that makes Woodside unique.
