Project Backyard Brevard - Dedicated to Preserving the Beauty of Brevard County, Florida...One Backyard at a Time

In 2003, while doing research to give training for the National Wildlife Federation Habitat Steward program, I realized how difficult it was to locate information about creating wildlife habitat. Since I was researching and collecting much of the information anyway, I decided that I might as well pull the information together into an easy to use website.

The website "was created as a means to encourage each citizen of Brevard County to take responsibility for their own piece of the local environment…their own homes and yards. It's aim is to provide information to all residents, old and new alike, about what they can do as individuals to help protect the wildlife and natural habitat that make Brevard so special and unique. By focusing on their own piece of property, each citizen can make a difference in habitat preservation throughout the county."
