Backyard Wildlife Program

The Village Links, the first public golf course in the world to be certified as a Wildlife Sanctuary by Audubon International, founded the Glen Ellyn Backyard Wildlife Program in 1995. The Glen Ellyn Backyard Wildlife Program is an outreach program founded on the belief that if we all work towards conservation and habitat enhancement on our own properties, we can create a collective wildlife conservation area. The staff at the Village Links hopes that you join them in this important effort! Currently, about 350 families are members of the Glen Ellyn Backyard Wildlife Program. Members receive the quarterly newsletter, Backyard Briefings, and are eligible to work towards having their property certified as a Wildlife Sanctuary. Membership in the Glen Ellyn Backyard Wildlife Program is free. To sign up for the Glen Ellyn Backyard Wildlife Program, mail your name, address, and telephone number to: The Village Links of Glen Ellyn, Attn: GEBWP, 490 Harding Avenue, Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137 or contact the Village Links with this information through their website at: www.villagelinksgolf.com/contact.cfm
