Protecting the Shrill Carder Bee and Shelduck Waterfowl

Our Pembroke refinery in the United Kingdom creates and sustains habitat for wildlife and plants with a Biodiversity Action Plan on 500 acres it owns outside its fence line.

This includes work with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust to create habitat for the rare shrill carder bee, at the site of a removed tank storage farm. Valero volunteers have cleared and planted wildflower meadow seed, and also have created safe nesting areas in earthen banks for shelduck waterfowl, secure from predators.
