The Montclair Backyard Habitat Project is working with the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) to promote the creation of habitats friendly to both people and wildlife in our community. Our mission is to educate residents about gardening for wildlife and sustainable practices by preserving and enhancing habitat through natural landscaping.

As a result of our efforts, Montclair became the first certified Community Wildlife Habitat in New Jersey back in March 2010, and up to date, 165 homes, 9 schools, 7 community gardens or parks, 4 businesses, and five houses of worship have become Certified Wildlife Habitat sites in our community. For more information go to www.montclairwildlife.com.

We are now seeking Two Program Coordinators to help us carry out our mission and increase the number of certified homes in Montclair. This role helps to extend the resources in the Northeast Earth Coalition to better assist the needs of our clients.

Examples of tasks include making phone calls and contacting people via e-mail, coordinating space and publicity for events and creating handouts and flyers. Time Commitment: 4.5 hours per week for seven weeks for a total of 30 hours
