The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) announced that the property of Action Water Gardens, Inc., located at 47 Hartford Turnpike in Tolland, is now recognized as an official Certified Wildlife Habitat site.

Any habitat enthusiast can create a certified habitat and learn the rewards of gardening for wildlife. In order to become certified, a property must provide the four basic elements that all wildlife need-food , water, cover and places to raise young — and must employ sustainable gardening practices. Habitat restoration is critical in urban and suburban settings where commercial and residential development encroaches on natural wildlife areas, limiting the availability of resources wildlife need to survive and thrive. In addition to providing for wildlife, certified habitats conserve our natural resources by reducing or eliminating the need for fertilizers , pesticides, and/or irrigation water, which ultimately protects the air, soil and water throughout our communities .
