In 1996, the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) created a Schoolyard Habitat Program
to meet the growing interest and needs of schools in creating and restoring wildlife
habitat on school grounds. Two Jamestown teachers and two parent volunteers received
training from the NWF in order to develop our own Schoolyard Habitat (SYH) here at
