As one of the first mitigation banking firms in the United States, the Wetlandsbank Company (TWC) has helped to pioneer the ecosystem market, which commoditizes natural resources for their own protection. The Wetlandsbank Group restores degraded or altered lands to natural and functional states. The environmental improvement is calculated by regulatory authorities who assign credit values for ecosystem functions that are then sold to those with permitted impacts. TWC is one of the most successful and respected wetland and conservation banking firms. TWC provides turnkey services for a variety of mitigation requirements including wetland, stream, and endangered animal habitats. TWC partners with public or private entities to design, permit, develop, market, operate, purchase , and manage mitigation banks. The Wetlandsbank Company is committed to providing sustainable solutions to development activities impacting the natural environment, by creating profitable and principled projects which restore impaired lands to a productive and functional state.
