WELCOME 

The Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) works with its member companies and 
conservation groups on voluntarily enhancing properties for wildlife habitat 
benefits and promotes the implementation of ecological reuse of contaminated 
properties. 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 through a series 
of conferences and through the development of its Land Restoration Program. 
Through the collaboration with federal and state agencies and industry, we work 
to demonstrate the methods and means by which state and local governments, 
industry and community groups can use ecological enhancements to increase the rate 
at which contaminated lands, both private and public (state, tribal, local), 
can be restored for a variety of reuses, including wildlife habitat. 
 
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. This is the fourth Restoring Greenspace Conference WHC 
has hosted, and the conference aims to 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 10.
