The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania, in partnership with the Steel Rivers COG and Wilkinsburg Pollinator Garden Group, are offering free Certified Backyard Habitats with pollinator gardens for residents of McKeesport, Glassport, and Wilkinsburg in Allegheny County. 

Participating households will receive pollinator bundles of native plants (over $100 value), be enrolled in ASWP’s Certified Backyard Habitat (CBH) program, and receive a complimentary ASWP membership.

The CBH program helps people to transform their yards and patios into an oasis for pollinators and birds. By creating Backyard Habitats, residents not only get to enjoy more natural beauty, but also support local birds, pollinators, and wildlife.

You must be a resident of McKeesport, Glassport, or Wilkinsburg to qualify.

The 2021 season is limited – enroll now to secure your spot--

-- McKeesport and Glassport residents can apply here.

-- Wilkinsburg residents can apply here.

Financial and other support for the Community Conservation Through Backyard Habitat project has been provided by DEP’s 2020 Environmental Education Program.
