Camden Earns Certification from Wildlife Habitat Council

February 26, 2024

INVISTA in Camden, South Carolina, has once again been recognized by the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) for its commitment to environmental stewardship and conservation efforts. The site has successfully implemented programs and initiatives that align with the WHC’s rigorous standards for habitat conservation and sustainable practices and has achieved the Certified level. 

Since its initial WHC certification in 1992, the Camden site has consistently upheld its dedication to conservation by creating and maintaining habitats for wildlife, promoting biodiversity and implementing sustainable management practices. Employee volunteers take pride in caring for 100 acres of WHC-certified land, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to preserving and protecting the environment.

To provide an ideal nesting environment for Purple Martins, the site has a total of 144 SuperGourds. These specially designed gourds offer secure and comfortable nesting spaces for Purple Martins, helping with their overall well-being and successful reproduction.

In addition, there are 41 Bluebird houses across the site, providing safe and inviting homes for Bluebirds and eight dedicated houses positioned for Prothonotary Warblers nesting needs which enhances their chances of successful breeding.

"We’re proud to receive this recognition from Wildlife Habitat Council," said Jay Johnson, INVISTA Camden Plant Manager. “It’s a testament to the tireless efforts and unwavering commitment demonstrated by our employee volunteers to advancing environmental stewardship and excellence.”
