FYI... Stefanie Rixecker ECOFEM Coordinator ------- Forwarded message follows ------- ENATURE LAUNCHES BACKYARD WILDLIFE WEBSITE SAN FRANCISCO, California, July 18, 2001 (ENS) - eNature, a website providing extensive information about nature, has introduced the Backyard Wildlife Habitat Planner at: http://www.enature.com The planner is an extension of the Backyard Wildlife Habitat(TM) program that was introduced in 1973 by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), the nation's largest conservation group, which acquired eNature in February 2001. eNature's Backyard Wildlife Habitat Planner equips outdoor enthusiasts with a multitude of online resources to cultivate trees, shrubs and flowers that offer food and cover for wildlife - attracting butterflies, birds, frogs and small animals. "Our goal is to help this amazing environmental stewardship program reach an even larger audience by making it easier and more dynamic than ever," said Chris Krueger, co-founder and vice president of eNature. "By taking the Backyard Wildlife Habitat to the Web, we are advancing NWF's mission to educate, inspire and assist people in protecting wildlife and the environment." Whether in a backyard, on an apartment balcony or in a rooftop garden, Backyard Wildlife Habitats provide families and organizations an easy and enjoyable introduction to nature. Habitats have sprouted in schools, places of worship, post offices and retirement facilities. More than 28,000 sites have been certified as NWF Backyard Wildlife Habitats, meaning wildlife can find food, water, shelter and safety in the garden. With the new features online at eNature.com, outdoor enthusiasts can follow three easy steps to cultivate a wildlife habitat and display it on the Web. "The Backyard Wildlife Habitat Planner on eNature.com represents the best of the marriage between NWF and eNature," said Craig Tufts, chief naturalist for NWF. "Outdoor enthusiasts benefit from NWFs long standing commitment to educating and inspiring families to protect nature as well as eNature's leading online resources about wildlife."
