Landscapes Going Wild: City stats

July 18, 2007

So 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.

 

Campbell: 12
Cupertino: 9

Los Altos: 16
Los Altos Hills: 3

Los Gatos: 14
Menlo Park: 4

Palo Alto: 17

Saratoga: 5

San Jose: 99
Santa Clara: 9

 

Landscaper Sherri Osaka told me today that she had one and they’re not that hard to do.

    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.
