Wildlife at Work^SM

The Wildlife Habitat Council encourages employees to get "Wild at Work" by participating in a wildlife management team at their place of employment. WHC's Habitat Opportunities Report and Team Kit are valuable step-by-step guides for employees and employers as they establish, develop and manage a wildlife program, leading up to WHC accreditation. When corporations, conservation groups, the community and WHC come together to plan a wildlife habitat enhancement program, Wildlife at Work is in action.

Wildlife at Work is the foundation of WHC, from which other programs spring, such as Corporate Lands for Learning and Wings of Wonder.

These strong community-based projects receive increased public recognition and environmental awards by related industry associations. WHC’s annual Registry of Certified Programs is recognized globally as a source for the press, general public and government representatives.
