COMMITTED TO OUR ENVIRONMENT
WIN WASTE IN SANGUS:
Our commitment to the environment goes beyond our waste-to-energy facilities. WIN Waste maintains the Bear Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, a 370-acre refuge abutting the 2,274-acre Rumney Marsh ecosystem in Saugus and Revere. The Sanctuary provides habitat for more than 200 species of migratory birds and is certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council as both a Wildlife at Work and a Corporate Lands for Learning habitat location.
Bear Creek features an outdoor classroom and hosts school groups for tours and field trips. A large group of birders participate in weekly walks, documenting various species that have taken up residence in the sanctuary.
