A Pathway Towards CLL Certification

WHC sites who have chosen to pursue CLL certification can register as a Conservation Education Site (CES) as an introductory stage to certification as a CLL.

This new level of recognition, developed for sites that participate in conservation education but are not yet ready to apply for CLL certification, is available to all WHC members who sponsor education programs related to their habitat.

Conservation Education Site registration allows your site to be recognized for existing programs while placing your team on track for CLL certification as WHC’s staff assists you in meeting eligibility criteria.  Sites may register for a total of three consecutive years as a CES.

Who Should Sign Up as a CES?

CES Registration is open to WHC member sites that sponsor or organize educational programs or events in the following categories:

• Wildlife or environmental studies,                           
• Resources management and/or conservation,                           
• Science, math or technology as related to the environment,                           
• Visual arts, literature/writing events related to the environment, and                           
• Special events, such as Earth Day, Arbor Day, International Migratory Bird Day, nature walks or bird counts.

The Benefits of Registering as a Conservation Education Site

Registering as a Conservation Education Site allows a site to receive recognition through WHC for outreach and education programs already underway and provides a vehicle for sites to become involved with WHC before going through the certification process. Upon acceptance, the site will receive:

• A confirmation document from WHC,                        
• Subscription to the new WHC Education and Outreach electronic newsletter, Education Works, which features CLL and CES case studies and tips on improving program offerings, and                        
• Invitations to regional education conferences held by WHC.
