Glen Raven recognized for wildlife habitat protection
Specialty Fabrics Review | May 2010
The South Carolina Wildlife Federation recognized the Glen Raven plant in Anderson, S.C., for protecting and enhancing wildlife habitat on its 180-acre property. The company completed requirements for certification under the federation’s Wildlife and Industry Together (WAIT) program, including installation of bird boxes and feeders, placement of nesting areas for ducks and salt licks for deer. Glen Raven developed a habitat plan for its site, created a native plant garden and worked with a nearby elementary school on an outdoor learning area. “Our long-term plan includes … construction of a nature trail. We also envision creating an orchard that will provide a food source for wildlife,” says Rodney Jones, technical finishing section leader at Glen Raven.

Thank you, Glen Raven.
Glen Raven has gone above and beyond in many areas to make their presence in our community a positive one. In addition to the above habitat protection activities, Glen Raven has adopted a large portion of Hwy. 178/Liberty Hwy. on which they are located. Workers are often observed picking up trash along that corridor. In fact, I believe Glen Raven has been recognized by the Keep America Beautiful organization for the amount of trash they've reported removing from the highway. Thank you Glen Raven for not only providing much needed jobs to Anderson County but also for making our community a better place to live.
