You can protect wildlife and their habitat with these great tips from Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust:

  • Support local & regional efforts to protect natural habitats and wildlife corridors (like the Southington Land Trust!)
  • Teach children respect for wildlife and wildlife habitats

AT YOUR OFFICE

  • Use energy-efficient light bulbs
  • Carpool, ride your bike or walk
