Nine DuPont sites received recognition for demonstrating commitment to environmental stewardship and increasing native biodiversity by achieving Wildlife at Work^SM recertification. These sites include Altamira, Mexico; Chestnut Run/Barley Mill Plaza, Delaware; Chambers Works, New Jersey; Experimental Station, Delaware; Hopewell, Virginia; Luxembourg; Pontchartrain, Louisiana; and Spruance, Virginia.  There are six other DuPont sites that maintain wildlife certified sites, but were not scheduled for recertification this year.
