After the successful submission of a comprehensive application to the Penn State Extension office, Cranaleith received official notice that the property has been certified as a Pennsylvania Pollinator Friendly Garden for providing food and habitat for native insects and animals, which in turn provide the pollination needed to protect earth’s plant diversity and food sources.
In addition, in October 2023, Cranaleith received a Certificate of Achievement, recognizing our property as an official National Wildlife Federation (NWF) Certified Wildlife Habitat site. With this designation, Cranaleith joined a prestigious group of NWF members across the country who have committed to protecting and nurturing wildlife. As you can well imagine, this news was greeted with great cheers by the family of deer, the fox, geese, groundhogs and the blue heron who continue to make their home on our beautiful grounds.
