Will be part of an unprecedented, state-wide challenge?
Then the Hoosier Habitats Challenge is for you!
This project is part of a unique partnership between Earth Charter Indiana and the Indiana Wildlife Federation, the state affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation.
This project is an opportunity to be on the leading edge of a movement to restore our native ecosystems and address the biodiversity and climate crises. We believe by working together across communities and organizations, we can certify every county in the state of Indiana - and be the first state to ever do so!
We are looking for local leaders and changemakers who are interested in being part of this project in their area.
We’ll be kicking off this challenge at the IWF’s annual conference on Saturday, March 7.

What does it take to be involved?
There are varying levels of geographic scope as well as time commitment. Those who have tried it have found it to be a valuable community organizing tool for a variety of reasons. Gardening with native plants is a nature-based climate solution offering many co-benefits. The project draws support from a broad base of stakeholders and offers helpful strategy, support and even free materials you can use for tabling. Plus, now you can learn from what we have tried -- you'll have a seasoned team ready to support you.
