Holy Comforter a Certified Wildlife Habitat
Just in time for Earth Day, Church of the Holy Comforter’s Stewardship of Creation Committee (SOCC) has announced that the National Wildlife Federation (NWF)—America’s largest wildlife conservation and education organization—has recognized that Holy Comforter has created a Certified Wildlife Habitat on its grounds. NWF recognizes that the church grounds improve habitat for birds, butterflies, bees, frogs and other wildlife by providing essential elements needed by all wildlife—water, natural food source, and cover.
Holy Comforter is pleased to be part of an ongoing effort to increase wildlife habitat in homes, businesses, and institutions throughout the town of Vienna. The National Wildlife Federation's website has a variety of information on how to improve the chances for birds, bees, and butterflies by creating wildlife habitat in our yards. It's surprisingly easy!
Church of the Holy Comforter is located at 543 Beulah Road NE, Vienna, 703-938-6521.
