Wildlife
Habitat Council 
EPA's has entered into a cooperative agreement with the Wildlife Habitat
Council (WHC) to research, test, develop and demonstrate the ways and
means that state, local governments, industry and community groups can
use ecological enhancements to increase the rate at which contaminated
lands, both private and public (state, tribal, and local), can be restored
for a variety of reuses including wildlife habitat enhancement as part
of restoration designs. WHC has developed a Comprehensive Plan to address
this initiative with EPA.
DOI/Groundwork
Trust IAG
The Groundwork USA Initiative is a pilot program of the Department of
Interior's National Park Service Rivers & Trails Program in cooperation
with EPA's Brownfields Program to establish a network of independent nonprofit
environmental businesses called Groundwork Trusts. Locally organized and
controlled, Groundwork Trusts bring about the sustained regeneration,
improvement and management of the physical environment by developing community-based
partnerships which empower people, businesses and organizations to promote
environmental, economic and social well being.
