Paper: Wildlife Habitat Management Plan Sawmill Creek Trout Recovery Project

In 1998, employees of Exxon (ExxonMobil after November 30, 1999) in partnership with Trout Unlimited, the Wildlife Habitat Council and the Boy Scouts of America, constructed a pond habitat project in western Wyoming. This voluntary environmental project augments efforts by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to stabilize native Colorado River Cutthroat Trout populations and is comprised of a deep pond that provides trout overwintering and rearing habitat. The project demonstrates responsible corporate environmental performance and will be used to promote balanced environmental education and to foster cooperative relationships with state and federal regulatory agencies. This project reflects the pride and enthusiasm that ExxonMobil employees have for the communities and states where the company does business, and serves as an example of the progress that can be achieved when neighbors join together in a common effort to enhance environment values. The Sawmill Creek Trout Recovery Project received the Oil and Gas Reclamation and Wildlife Stewardship award from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in September 1999. The project also received recognition in November 1999 from the Wildlife Habitat Council as a Certified Corporate Wildlife Habitat Site.
