Backyard Conservation:  Right outside your Door

Loss of wild places everywhere is occurring at an overwhelming rate.  To protect our natural resources, from plants to pollinators, we must learn to invite wildlife onto our private lands as well as public. From corporate sites to backyards, even small private habitats have value to local wildlife.

To learn about backyard gardening, schoolyard habitats, native plants, pollinators, and other resources, click here to visit the Three Rivers Habitat Partnership (TRHP) Backyard Conservation section. TRHP is the sister project to the Cuyahoga Habitat Partnership, with over 20 corporate sites and over 10 schoolyard habitats in western Pennsylvania. 

Additional local resources coming soon!
