Landscapes Going Wild: City stats
July 18th, 2007 by bruce_richmondSo where are all of these Backyard Habitats?
Apparently, it’s a bit labor intensive to get the Certified Backyard Habitat stats city-by city. Thanks to Roxanne Paul of the National Wildlife Federation for sending this partial list before dashing off on her vacation.

Cupertino: 9
Los Altos: 16
Los Altos Hills: 3
Los Gatos: 14

A friend of mine in Illinois applied for these about 10 years ago and had her yard certified as a backyard habitat. IIRC she had a bit of work to meet the guidelines but other than tht it was a fairly simple process.
