Keep South Carolina Wild
WAIT is designed to encourage corporate landowners to integrate wildlife habitat needs into corporate land management decisions.
As South Carolina becomes increasingly developed, there is less land available for wildlife. Corporate landowners can offset habitat loss by devoting their under-utilized lands to wildlife. This is achieved by matching site employees who are interested in wildlife with community partners to develop habitat plans. Our WAIT program assists corporations, employees, facility neighbors, and other groups who desire to develop environmental projects, in partnership with each other.
To learn more about the WAIT Program, check out this video of SCWF’s Industry Habitat Manager, Jay Keck, discussing the benefits of this vital partnership.
