The Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) works with its member companies and
conservation groups on voluntarily enhancing properties for wildlife habitat
benefits and promotes the inclusion of ecological enhancements as part of
site restoration. Both the environment and economy will benefit greatly if
ecological enhancements could be included in cleanup and restoration
programs on a more systematic and efficient basis. 
 
WHC has made significant progress in achieving these goals by means of a
series of conferences and through the development of its Land Restoration
Program in collaboration with the U.S. EPA, state agencies and industry.
Moving to the regional level, WHC is promoting on-the-ground measures and
developing demonstration sites to increase the use of ecological
enhancements in restoration efforts. The 2005 conference will present a
first-hand look at innovative programs, new initiatives and case studies
that highlight the incorporation of ecological reuse practices in site
restoration in EPA Region 6.
