Current Projects Townsend Community Habitats One of our on going projects with the Delaware Nature Society and Town of Townsend is the certification of the town as a Community Wildlife Habitat. Community Wildlife Habitats is a National Wildlife Federation program that recognizes a community’s conservation and stewardship efforts to create a place where people and wildlife can flourish together though habitat and water quality improvements. By participating in this program, Townsend will be the first town in Delaware to be certified as a Community Habitat. As part of this project, the Association will help install Backyard Habitats, make the upcoming Town Park an environmentally friendly oasis, create a residential demonstration rain garden and educate residents on composting and rain barrels. The ARA is currently planning some exciting workshops and other activities in which residents of Townsend will be able to participate that are planed for the next few months --so keep checking the website for updates!
