Habitat Stewards™ Program  
Habitat Stewards™ is a volunteer education program of the National Wildlife Federation® and, in Maine, is a joint effort with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension. In a 30-hour program, you learn how to improve habitat for wildlife in yards, workplaces and other areas in the landscape. In return, you volunteer for 30 hours doing habitat education or service projects in your community. Call or email Amy Witt at awitt@umext.maine.edu or  207-780-4205 or 1-800-287-1471 (Maine only), if you want to receive notification of the course.
