Your April Wildlife NewsletterJohn,

The current pandemic continues to impact each and every one of us in different
ways. With spring upon us, it can be even more challenging to practice safe
social distancing while getting outside and enjoying a time of year so many of
us cherish.

Here at the National Wildlife Federation, we are working harder than ever to
advance the cause of science-backed conservation, and helping our supporters at
home continue to engage with the natural world. Whether it’s by sharing
entertaining wildlife articles, creating educational experiences for families,
or providing simple and safe tips for getting to your garden ready—we’re here
for you.

Stay safe and thank you for your continuing support.

We asked our amazing supporters how they are observing wildlife while still
practicing safe social distancing. Here are just some of the thousands of
inspiring answers we received.

Lori D.: Due to reduced work hours, my boyfriend and I have been able to devote more
time to our Houston urban gardens. Matt B.: I'm enjoying my neighbor's Certified Wildlife Habitat. I'm a renter, so, I've
also been discussing with him the possibility of getting his property Certified. Rob R.: I go for a walk most days, on a fire road along a creek to open space. I've
seen egrets, ducks and hawks. Deborah B.: I have been watching the birds, (cardinals, a few woodpeckers, and lots of
chickadees and tohees. Gwen R.: Planting flowers and filling my hummingbird feeders! Valerie P.: I have been transforming my yard into a pollinator garden.

[{EXTERNAL_URL~[link removed]}]
2020 is a crucial year for wildlife. Not only because it is a presidential
election year, but also because all across the country, Americans are being
asked to participate in the U.S. Census. This official snapshot of the U.S.
population determines funding for environmental projects with direct local
impact, decides the size of each state’s delegation to the House of
Representatives, and serves many other critical purposes.

WE NEED YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE COUNTED.
