Community Programs
Recognition or Certification? Finding the right path for your community
Audubon International offers two community-focused programs that help neighborhoods protect natural resources, engage residents, and build a more sustainable future. Whether your community is beginning its sustainability journey or looking for a comprehensive certification framework, both programs provide expert guidance, recognition, and opportunities for continuous improvement.
Green Communities
The Green Community Program recognizes residential communities that demonstrate leadership in environmental stewardship, wildlife habitat enhancement, resident engagement, and quality of life initiatives.
Designed for communities of all sizes, budgets, and governance structures, this program offers a flexible and achievable pathway to recognition while encouraging ongoing environmental progress.
Sustainable Communities
For communities seeking a more comprehensive sustainability framework, this program takes environmental leadership to the next level through a structured certification process.
This three-phase approach combines community engagement, detailed assessment, strategic planning, and ongoing implementation support.
