Turn your outdoor space into a friendly habitat for wildlife.
Every day, more and more wildlife habitat is lost to the spread of development. It doesn’t matter whether you have a small apartment balcony, suburban yard, a place of worship, or a community park. You can make any outdoor space into a safe place for wildlife, people and pets to coexist.
The Humane Society of the United States is the nation’s largest and most effective animal protection organization. We are looking for dedicated volunteers to partner with local churches and faith institutions to create humane backyards in their community. We offer step-by-step guides, simple tips, and oversight from our professional organizers to make it easy to make a difference.
Our Humane Backyard toolkit can be an excellent service-learning project to educate people about interacting with wildlife and then take a hands-on approach to making a difference. This is a project with the Humane Society of the United States’ Faith Outreach program which seeks to engage the faith community to have a greater impact in protecting animals.

We fight all forms of animal cruelty to achieve the vision behind our name: A humane society. And we can’t do it without you.
