A number of properties owned or managed by places of worship are currently under-used by the congregation, serving largely visual backdrops for the buildings and parking lots.
The land around your place of worship could become an inspiring model for enhancing wildlife habitat, and you could help fulfill congregational missions by:
Creating an outdoor sanctuary for people to interact with nature
Extending congregational relevance within your neighborhood and local community
Affirming the interfaith approach to natural resource stewardship and spirituality
Limiting your ecological footprint, or your impact on energy conservation and wildlife habitat
By taking the steps outlined in IWF's Wildlife Friendly Certification Program, places of worship can illustrate their dedication to caring for all living things and to educating their members about being good stewards of the Earth.
Thank you to all the presenters who made our workshop a great success!
