President’s MessageThe mission of WHC has always, proudly, been to actively involve people—mostly peoplefrom the private sector—in managing lands to provide enhanced habitat for wildlife. Sinceour beginnings in 1988, our presence has grown to 640 certifiedWildlife at Work SM programs and 128 Corporate Lands forLearning SM programs in 43 states, the District of Columbia, and 9countries around the world. These programs representmeasurable, sincere efforts on behalf of the private sector tocontribute to public good—benefiting wildlife and community,actively harnessing skill and insight, to contribute to a greenerfuture for all of us.The theme of our work in 2010 was "biodiversity" – the need tounderstand it, and the role each of us can and must play insustaining it. In 2011, we began our focus on the theme of "People, Partnerships andPathways," which builds upon our business and biodiversity focus by looking at all the wayswe are connected to the natural world and exploring ways in which we can work togetheracross public, private and governmental sectors for the preservation of species.To our members, partners, donors and affiliated organizations, thank you for working withus. Through your dedication and leadership efforts, we will continue to promote anecologically whole environment. Together we continue to share a vision to conserve andrestore natural ecosystems for the benefit of humanity and the earth’s biological diversity.My most sincere thanks go to the many volunteer members, governmental and non-profitpartners, and staff who contributed to the creation of this report, the programs describedtherein, and the continuing mission and vision of the Wildlife Habitat Council in the pastyear.Sincerely,Robert JohnsonPresident, Wildlife Habitat Council3

Certification/International Accreditation ProgramIn 2010, 281 sites were recognized for creating a Wildlife at Work SM program, bringing thetotal of currently recognized wildlife programs to 640. In addition, 56 Corporate Lands forLearning SM (CLL) programs were certified or recertified, for a total of 128 conservationeducation programs that reach thousands of learners, from schools and scout groups tomaster gardeners and university researchers. These programs are now found in 43 states,the District of Columbia and nine other countries.http://www.wildlifehc.org/certification/registry-of-existing-programs/The certification program recognizes outstanding wildlife habitat management andenvironmental education efforts and offers third-party validation of the benefits of suchprograms. Certification requirements are strict and require that sites apply for periodicrenewal. http://www.wildlifehc.org/certification/apply/5

Getting Wild at WorkWHC encourages employees to get “Wild at Work” by participating in a wildlife managementteam at their place of employment. WHC’s staff of biologists assists dozens of facilitiesevery year with step by step guides for employees and employers as they establish,develop and manage a wildlife program. When corporations, conservation groups,communities and WHC come together to plan a wildlife habitat enhancement program,Wildlife at Work is in action. http://www.wildlifehc.org/programs/wildlife-at-work/PHOTO © ONTARIO POWER GENERATION6

Corporate Lands for LearningEducation is one of the most vital means in ensuring continued wildlife habitat enhancementand sustainable environments. The future of conservation rests in creating opportunities byeducating the public, fostering a sense of stewardship and environmental responsibility.WHC’s Corporate Lands for Learning (CLL) program provides learners of all ages withaccess to corporate lands, natural resources and employee skills through on-site andhands-on environmental education activities to augment traditional classroom teaching.http://www.wildlifehc.org/programs/corporate-lands-for-learning/These programs foster a clear understanding of the interdependence of ecology,economics, social structures and political process in both urban and rural areas.Participants are guided to understand the connection between corporate environmentalinitiatives and their surrounding communities. CLL provides a vehicle for studying localwildlife habitat and promotes an enthusiasm for science, nature and outdoor experiences.The number of Conservation Education Sites (CES) fluctuated slightly in 2010. WHC sitescan register as a CES, an introductory stage to certification as a CLL program. CESregistration provides recognition of existing programs while placing the program on track forCLL certification. At the end of the fiscal year, 19 programs had registered under CES, while3 programs rolled over into CLL-certified status.http://www.wildlifehc.org/programs/corporate-lands-for-learning/education-sites/WHC’s Education and Outreach Department continued to work closely with the PollinatorPartnership in 2010. To combat the world-wide loss of pollinators, the Pollinator Task Forcewas created to raise awareness and increase suitable habitat. The Pollinator Partnershipworked with WHC to accomplish habitat and education goals. Pollinator LIVE, a technologybasedseries for educators, began in February of 2010 and continued through the spring of2011, and provided resources for formal or informal educators to teach in or about theirhabitats. Developed by the USDA Forest Service, in partnership with the Prince WilliamCounty (VA) Public Schools, Partners in Resource Education, the National EnvironmentalEducation Foundation and others, Pollinator LIVE was designed for anyone interested inpollinator issues in our environment. Standards-correlated lesson information and tips onhow to integrate pollinators into the classroom, as well as information on how to developprograms, were integral to this series.In 2010, WHC began its partnership with the Robert Bateman Get to Know Program (G2K).This initiative was started by world renowned nature artist Robert Bateman to “inspireconnections between children and nature in the outdoors” through the creative arts. Bygetting kids outdoors, and making sure they have an increased awareness of the naturalworld, we can ensure that future generations will want to take care of the earth and improvetheir overall health and well-being. WHC is working with G2K to extend the reach fromCanada across the North American continent and to create a partnership between G2K andour members. The creative arts are in a niche that is often left unexplored in conservationeducation, but may be one that sparks an interest in teaching and learning in the outdoors.7

The Business of BiodiversityEach year, corporate, government and conservation leaders come together from around theglobe to share knowledge and celebrate Earth’s beauty and wonders at WHC’s AnnualSymposium.The 22 nd Annual Symposium, The Businessof Biodiversity, was held November 10-12,2010, and celebrated more than twenty yearsin conservation. Participants learned to buildan awareness, understanding andcommitment to biodiversity. Innovativesessions explored ecological engineering,managing for threatened and endangeredspecies, educational resources, and integrating corporate sustainability initiatives and WHCprograms, in addition to other pressing topics.Andrew Winston, founder of Winston Eco-Strategies and authorof Green Recovery and the coauthor of Green to Gold, providedthe keynote address. Winston is a globally recognized expert ongreen business, and has appeared in major media. He isdedicated to helping companies both large and small useenvironmental strategy to grow, create enduring value, and buildstronger relationships with employees, customers, and otherstakeholders. Winston received his BA in Economics fromPrinceton, an MBA from Columbia, and a Masters of Environmental Management fromYale.PHOTO (C) LYNDA RICHARDSONThe Conservation Education Event featured Nate Erwin,curator of the O.

Ecosystem Services on Corporate Lands ConferenceOn June 24-25, 2010, WHC, in collaboration with the World Resources Institute (WRI),hosted the second Ecosystems Services on Corporate Lands Conference. Over 75representatives from business, consultants, NGOs, and various state and federalgovernment agencies attended the two-day conference. As a follow-up to the 2009conference, the conference explored WHC member roles in managing ecosystem serviceson their land.Speakers introduced a sampling of tools being developed and outlined steps to analyze theservices that ecosystems provide. This information allowed users to prioritize managementstrategies and maximize positive impact on both the environment and the company’soperations. WHC members who previously evaluated these services presented theirfindings along with some ideas on how the available tools could be improved.During the plenary session, a panel including WHC staff, corporate members andconservation organizations discussed the results from the meeting and then led adiscussion on how ecosystem services should fit in WHC programs. Audience membersand the panel agreed that with the plethora of tools available that all measure differentthings and require different data, that it may be difficult for WHC to use just one tool to“measure ecosystem services” and justify the costly process. However, as more toolsdevelop and people begin to realize the important products that are both directly andindirectly derived from our nature, the role for WHC would be obvious: to become acertification agent for members going the extra mile to analyze the ecosystem services ontheir land and water. http://www.wildlifehc.org/resources/tech-support/ecosystem-servicesprogram/10

Gulf Coast Regional ConferenceOn March 24, 2011, WHC’s Southwest Regional Office hosted the Gulf Coast RegionalConference: Restoring Habitat, Opening Migratory Corridors at Monsanto Company’s LulingPlant in Luling, Louisiana. The purpose of this conference, the first in a series of threeregional conferences held throughout the year, was to invite members and stakeholders tolearn about corporate programs for wildlife enhancement and conservation education in theGulf Coast region. Attendees included WHC members, governmental partners and nonprofitorganizations. Outcomes of the meeting included the identification of regional issues,opportunities, synergies, and partnerships, as well as the inauguration and establishment ofa regional “network” in the Gulf Coast region. http://www.wildlifehc.org/gulf-coast-regionalconference-restoring-habitat-opening-migratory-corridors/PHOTO © MONSANTO COMPANY11

New Beginnings – The Woodlawn Wildlife AreaNew Beginnings – The Woodlawn Wildlife Area continues to flourish. This site, owned byBridgestone Americas Holding, Inc., consists of a 37-acre former landfill listed on the U.S.EPA’s National Priorities List (a list of Superfund sites) and adjoining 58-acres.Management of wildlife habitat at New Beginnings is facilitated through communityvolunteerism in Cecil County, Maryland. The New Beginnings wildlife team now consists ofrepresentatives from Bridgestone, WHC, Maryland Cooperative Extension, Fair Hill NatureCenter, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Boys and Girls Club of Cecil County, Maryland, Arcadis,the local volunteer Fire Department, and several public and private schools from thesurrounding area. Together, the team works to enhance habitat for native wildlife, managethe encroachment of invasive species, and develop environmental education programs forstudents of all ages within Cecil County.The first wildlife habitat project implemented at New Beginnings was a nest box program forcavity-nesting birds, which continues to this day. During the 2010 breeding seasons, morethan 70 birds fledged from the 23 nesting structures, and included species such as housewrens, Carolina chickadees, eastern bluebirds, tree swallows and tufted tit-mouse.In May of 2010, New Beginnings hosted a second Native Plant Sale to benefit not only localwildlife but also the local Boys and Girls Club. Money raised from the sale fundsscholarships to summer youth camps and other programming. In 2010, the sale of nativeplants supported three students to attend summer camp that would not have been able togo otherwise.The vernal pool created in 2008 is now established and flourishing. Five species ofamphibians have been documented using the vernal pool to breed including green frogs,gray tree frogs, American toads, and pickerel frogs. Working with the local volunteer firedepartment and Department of Natural Resources, the wildflower meadow was successfullyburned to remove woody stems and debris that had collected over the years. Burningreturns nutrients back to the soil and allows seeds to sprout that may have been lyingdormant.Local schools and community members visit the site to combine learning with servicegeared toward habitat management. Celebrations for Earth Day, National Pollinator Week,National Public Lands Day and Arbor Day provide opportunities for audiences to learn aboutthe topic of the holiday, engage in hands-on restoration activities, and do crafts andlessons. Crafts and other hands-on learning activities are combined with scavenger huntsand in-depth investigations of questions students present while visiting. In summer of 2010,the University of Delaware visited the site to confirm the arrival of the mile-a-minute weevil.This insect was researched and released by University of Delaware to control the invasivemile-a-minute weed that smothers native growth at an alarming rate. It was confirmed thatthe site does now have the weevil and they have already been working hard to slow theexotic weed’s spread. In fall of 2010, Cecil College visited the wildlife area for its botanyclass; students studied invasive species and warm season grasses and samples weretaken back to their lab for further investigation. http://www.wildlifehc.org/programs/councilmanaged-programs/new-beginnings/.12

Huron to Erie Waterways for Wildlife ProjectWHC’s Huron to Erie Waterways for Wildlife Project strengthens existing wildlife habitatprograms through education and networking, while expanding the number of corporate sitesengaged in programs. The fall of 2010 saw a total of 45 certified Wildlife at Work programsin the region – which stretches from Lake Huron to Lake Erie on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border – and two Corporate Lands forLearning programs.In April of 2010, the Huron to Erie Waterwaysfor Wildlife Project was honored by the DetroitFree Press as one of the newspaper’s 16“Michigan Green Leaders.” A front-page storysaid that the project “… proves that one doesn'tneed idyllic settings to have a positiveecological impact. Beauty is wherever peopleenable it to flourish.In June of 2010, the project continued its focusPHOTO © BASF CORPORATIONon migratory bird stopover habitat, with ahands-on workshop hosted by CF Industries outside Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Theworkshop helped about 30 land owners and volunteers see how their landscapes fit intoregional wildlife habitat needs.In the fall of 2010, the Huron to Erie Advisory Committee decided to expand its now-annualcelebration of new and re-certified habitat programs to include an educational component.Priorities were identified and speakers located for a popular event to be held in April 2011.http://www.wildlifehc.org/regional-offices/huron-to-erie/14

Intermountain West Regional OfficeThe Intermountain West Regional Office helps to better serve members and partners in theintermountain western U.S. and western Canada, and to help grow WHC‘s presence in thisregion. Since the creation of the Intermountain West Regional Office in 2008, the number ofsites actively pursuing certification track programs has risen from 33 in to 60 by the end ofthe 2010-2011 fiscal year.With the support of funding from ExxonMobiland staff from Ensign US Drilling, theIntermountain West Regional Office continuedto work with local stakeholders to bringcorporate involvement to projects at the BobTaylor Ecological Area (BTEA), owned byDenver Water. The office sought input onappropriate projects for the property from thefollowing agencies and NGOs: ColoradoDivision of Wildlife (CDOW), the AudubonPHOTO © ENSIGN US DRILLINGSociety of Greater Denver, Thorne EcologicalInstitute, and Environmental Learning for Kids (ELK). A memorandum of understanding wassigned between WHC and Denver Water in September of 2010, which allows WHC staff toact as project manager and pursue financial and employee volunteer support for projects atthe BTEA. http://www.wildlifehc.org/programs/council-managed-programs/bob-taylorecological-area-enhancement-project/Plans for this WHC-managed public-private partnership resulted in the first establishedproject at the property. WHC member Ensign US Drilling led an effort to finance, construct,and install 20 bat boxes at the BTEA. Office staff worked closely with employees from theWestern Energy Alliance to encourage members to contribute to this project. By the end ofthe 2010-2011, the office raised more than $4000 and had engaged over 50 employeesfrom 10 different companies in this effort. The bat boxes will provide artificial roostinghabitat for approximately 10,000 bats.The work of the Intermountain West Regional Office at the Bob Taylor Ecological Area ledto its involvement in the Chatfield Area Network for Outreach and Education (CANOE). Themission of CANOE is to strengthen place-based educational programs in the Chatfield areaand to improve participants’ understanding of the South Platte River’s environments from itsheadwaters in the mountains to the Metropolitan area in the plains. Agencies and NGOsinvolved in CANOE include the Audubon Society of Greater Denver, the Denver BotanicGardens, Denver Water, the Rocky Mountain Land Library, and Thorne Ecological Institute.The Intermountain West Regional Office also participated in meetings for the WesternGovernors’ Association Initiative on Wildlife Corridors and Crucial Habitat.http://www.wildlifehc.org/regional-offices/intermountain-west-regional-office/15
