Land conservation / habitat protection / endangered species
  • Bristol-Myers Squibb has been a member of the Wildlife Habitat Council since 1999. Bristol-Myers Squibb has five certified Wildlife at Work programs in the U.S. The Hopewell campus, certified since 2001, is proud to be one of them. A 433-acre campus with more than 385 acres available for wildlife habitat projects, the campus is a mosaic of agricultural fields, upland forest, landscaped open space, riparian forest and aquatic habitats that are part of the Stony Brook watershed. The Hopewell campus' volunteer wildlife team implements and maintains a number of habitat enhancement projects, such as installing 60 bluebird boxes, seven screech owl boxes and eight wood duck boxes around the campus. Through the Campus Nesting Box program, volunteers monitor the nest boxes throughout the breeding season to record data on use of the boxes, and perform maintenance on boxes following the breeding season.
    • To date, volunteers have planted more than 4,000 plants representing 33 native species, including oak, steeplebush, winterberry, red-osier dogwood and chokeberry. In more than 15 acres of wetland habitat. Volunteers have restored 1,350 linear feet of riparian buffers once dominated by invasive species or landscaping. Each year, new locations are identified to implement restoration activities.
    • The Hopewell team conducted an education campaign on campus to address large scale issues such as ecosystem and watershed health, hazardous materials recycling, protecting endangered species and conducting environmentally friendly business within the community.
  • The Hopewell facility developed a brochure (1.9 MB PDF) to help raise awareness about stormwater management. We have implemented a watershed stormwater management plan that provides an integrative approach to evaluating activities that may influence water resources locally and downstream. We have optimized water reuse to reduce wastewater discharge, reduced our use of fertilizers and pesticides, enhanced wetland areas to reduce stormwater velocity and increase groundwater recharge, and landscaped the Hopewell campus to reduce high maintenance and impervious surfaces. We monitor water quality in the Stony Brook.
  • The Hopewell facility has developed a brochure (319k PDF) to help raise awareness about local threatened and endangered species. This brochure also encourages taking steps in order to protect these species.
  • Brochure ( Watershed Walk (529k PDF)), shows our two-mile trail with seven stations highlighting the important features of the campus.
  • In support of Earth Day, we also developed a Wildlife Walk (1.3mb PDF), which is a two-mile walk with six stations describing the natural and developed wildlife habitat at the site.
