Purchasing credits from a mitigation bank such as Conservation Resources has many benefits. Mitigation banks offer a cost effective alternative to landowners and developers and relieves them of the responsibility to maintain wetlands to agency standards. This consolidation can result in wetlands of greater value due to their size and the banks commitment to long-term management. Mitigation banks can have wetlands created and functioning before development impacts an existing wetland. This eliminates any temporary loss of functioning habitat.
Mitigation banks can expedite permit review.
