The HSUS's Urban Wildlife Sanctuary Program provides individuals and communities the opportunity to assess and improve their property's usefulness as a wildlife habitat. UWSP members receive a variety of educational materials on habitat creation and restoration, as well as tips for enhancing wildlife-watching experiences.

You don't have to have acres of land to provide sanctuary. The UWSP is open to anyone with an interest in making our urban areas more hospitable to wildlife. Even a city apartment balcony can hold a bird feeder or butterfly garden. If you have a sincere desire to help wild animals by enhancing habitat on your property and committing to humane approaches for resolving conflicts with wildlife, your property could become an official HSUS Urban Wildlife Sanctuary.

Benefits of UWSP certification:

• A colorful metal sign for your yard, proclaiming your property an "Official Urban Wildlife Sanctuary."
  
• A complimentary one-year subscription to Wild Neighbors News, our award-winning newsletter offering seasonal suggestions for helping wildlife, ideas for enhancing habitat, and feature articles on urban wildlife species.
  
• A full-color certificate dedicating your property as an Urban Wildlife Sanctuary.
  
• An Urban Wildlife Sanctuary decal to display in your home window.
