Projects of all types and sizes can impact animal and plant species and their established habitats such as forests, wetlands, streams and creeks. Resource loss or impact to an ecosystem may be unavoidable. Successfully permitting your project may require environmental mitigation — or the conservation of a comparable nearby ecosystem — to conserve, protect and restore wildlife habitats.
As consultants and mitigation and conservation bankers, professionals in our Environmental Services Group can recommend the proper path forward for your project. We can offer preapproved, comprehensive mitigation solutions to meet your environmental permitting obligations. Our mitigation solutions can provide regulatory certainty while saving time and money.
With a national network of mitigation banks — including conservation banks, wetland banks and turnkey solutions — we can provide mitigation options tailored to your project’s needs. These sites are protected by permanent conservation easements or other mechanism to ensure the ecosystem benefits are preserved in perpetuity.
We have designed and implemented multiple projects, such as the Chariton Hills Bat Conservation Bank in northern Missouri, the North Fork Crow River Mitigation Bank in central Minnesota and the Moosa Creek Riparian Restoration Project in Southern California. There may be existing land inventory that suits your project’s needs, and we are constantly seeking new sites for mitigation and conservation efforts.
Our team is passionate about conservation with every wetland, stream or creek we establish, restore or enhance. Allow us to help you find the best solution for your next project.
