Wayne-White Counties Electric Cooperative participates in the NWTF's Energy for Wildlife program which helps the utility industry manage millions of miles of private rights-of-way and other lands they own that could potentially provide ideal habitat for a number of wildlife species.
The program helps . . .

Companies:
- Develop credibility for vegetation/wildlife management programs
- Receive technical assistance with vegetation and wildlife issues

|
Members and Volunteers:

Managing these properites provides great habitat for wild turkeys. Several species currently at risk from loss of open habitat also benefit from the program. Wayne-White Counties Electric Cooperative has 3 plots planned for 2005. In these plots, we will prepare and sow natural food areas that will be beneficial to our area wildlife.
