Ecosystem and Mitigation Banking

Mitigation banks are large agency-approved properties where wetlands are restored and preserved to provide mitigation for wetland impacts in surrounding areas. Conservation banks for endangered species are wildlife areas that are preserved, managed, and in some cases, restored to protect specific at-risk species.

Wildlands' mitigation and conservation banks have several ecological and economic benefits over traditional methods of mitigation, such as on-site mitigation.

Economic benefits to the client include expedited permitting time and economy of scale. Most importantly, Wildlands assumes responsibility for ecological success of the mitigation, providing the client with severance of liability.

Ecological benefits include large preserve size, mitigation before impact, and Wildlands' resources and expertise. Mitigation banks are also held to high habitat performance and success standards.

Bank Listing

Wildlands has 27 banks and preserves currently providing compensatory mitigation and many more in development. Wildlands is constantly buying new properties and developing new banks so please call to inquire if you don't find what you're looking for.
