Sacred Grounds Seminar

View the full flyer here

Attention gardeners, groundskeepers, trustees, and leaders:

Beautify your congregation’s grounds with a certified, natural habitat that celebrates all the diversity of God’s stunning
creation. The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) Garden for Wildlife program, Sacred Grounds, offers congregations,
houses of worship, and faith communities concrete ways to link faith practices with caring for the environment.

In this three-hour Sacred Grounds seminar, attendees will learn simple steps your faith community can take to:

• attract and feed our diminishing bird/insect species
• reduce lawn and lawn maintenance costs
• address water quality and storm water runoff
• and many other benefits!

Local members of the NWF Habitat Stewards, in partnership with the Lancaster County Conservancy, are sponsors and consultants for this workshop. Representatives from a few other local congregations which are taking steps toward certification will also be present to talk about their process. Your congregation can benefit no matter what size property you have or its location. Every small step toward creating a native habitat matters.
