Our Approach

One of the more important stages of restoration development is appropriate siting and the value placed on partnering with landowners. We work through a specific site-selection process utilizing modeling and GIS technology to identify potentially suitable properties.

An initial review of a prospective site gives insight into mitigation bank development opportunities. Our team combines GIS, ecological, regulatory, design, and construction experience to evaluate restoration potential and gather an understanding of anticipated risks.

From Prospectus to Draft Banking Instrument to Banking Instrument, project requirements are carefully vetted to execute a seamless regulatory process. Our team values relationships with the Interagency Review Team (IRT), third parties, and other project implementation stakeholders to ensure regulatory compliance is achieved.

Our team oversees construction efforts and supports post-construction standards necessary to establish reference conditions for future monitoring efforts.

Ecological succession is monitored during this phase and performance criteria are evaluated to gauge project success until Long-term Management is granted.

Not all projects are perfect and there may come a time where an appropriate strategy will be required to improve the likelihood of success. Our team collaborates with stakeholders through scientific understanding to improve decision-making when uncertainty arises.

We understand that each mitigation bank is unique and that the mitigation industry poses challenges related to the supply and demand of mitigation credits. Because of its complexity, we can assist with streamlining the mitigation banking process through brokering credits. Our team has meaningful relationships to facilitate connections between buyers and sellers through pricing and negotiation of credit sales. We also ensure compliance with regulations through agency reporting requirements.
