Summary

Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton, Jasper, Pulaski, and Starke Counties. This is part of Indiana's statewide Hoosier Habitats Challenge launched March 2026 to become the first ever Certified Community Wildlife Habitat™ led by Earth Charter Indiana in partnership with the Indiana Wildlife Federation and other partners. * When a community team registers, if it inherits tons of existing habitat points, it needs to reach 10% new habitats while as a team. So the Habitat Certification Points Goal is 825 (not 750).
