SCWF Appoints New Wildlife Habitat Manager

The South Carolina Wildlife Federation (SCWF) has named Laura Blake-Orr Wildlife Habitat Manager. She will oversee SCWF habitat programs, including the Backyard, Community, Schoolyard, and Wildlife and Industry Together program, known as WAIT. 

SCWF has more than 6,000 certified Backyard Wildlife Habitats in South Carolina, making it number one in the nation for the number of sites per capita. The Backyard program has been extended to include churches, libraries, parks and businesses. The WAIT program encourages corporate landowners to integrate wildlife habitat needs into land management decisions. Currently, 27 industrial sites are certified. SCWF plans to significantly increase that number over the next three years.

Blake-Orr brings more than three decades of experience as a corporate environmental professional and is a long-standing board member with Keep the Midlands Beautiful. 

The mission of SCWF is to conserve and restore South Carolina’s wildlife and wildlife habitat through education and advocacy.

Kudos to you SCWF and Laura!
