Wildlife Habitat Council - Wildlife at Work Certification

Waste Management landfills provide more than 19,000 acres of protected land for wetlands and wildlife habitat, which are carefully managed in partnership with conservationists, universities and environmental groups. Many of these projects provide refuge for threatened or endangered species. They also serve to broaden understanding of wildlife and environmental values through environmental education, volunteer participation and community outreach.

Through partnerships with the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) and with the help of WM employees and local community organizations, WM has developed habitat management programs on company sites. WHC's Wildlife at Work Certification program focuses on wildlife management, and employee and community involvement. WHC's Corporate Lands for Learning (CLL) program fosters in learners, both adults and children, a clear understanding of the interdependence of ecology, economics, social structures and political process in both urban and rural areas. To date, 49 Waste Management facilities have received the Wildlife at Worksm certification. Two of these facilities have also received the Corporate Lands for Learning certification. Below are just some of the sites that have received certification.
