Mitigation Solutions

Introduction

From highways to energy projects, the push for new infrastructure demands innovative mitigation strategies to protect our natural resources.

At The Conservation Fund, we understand that balancing infrastructure development with sound environmental practices is essential for America’s prosperity.

That’s why we provide mitigation solutions that open the way for tomorrow’s economy while protecting high-priority wildlife habitat, clean water and recreation areas. We act as a partner, working with project developers, agencies and conservationists to create plans that mitigate unavoidable impacts on our natural, historical and cultural resources. Our comprehensive mitigation solutions support our partners’ approved conservation strategies to offset project-related impacts, including turnkey transaction services and management of permittee-responsible mitigation funds for conservation outcomes.

Webinar Series: Compensatory Mitigation

We’re excited to offer a new webinar series to help you navigation federal compensatory mitigation requirements and solutions. This free, eight-part webinar series — led by top experts — will cover key topics including federal regulations, mitigation types, and the roles of agencies and review teams.

Mitigation Isn’t Just a Box to Check — It’s a Business Opportunity

At The Conservation Fund, we help companies turn required mitigation into real public benefit — and strategic advantage.

Our Approach

We work at the site level, as well as at landscape scale, offering comprehensive, credible and highly efficient services to develop compensatory and voluntary mitigation packages. With keen understanding of business needs, deep legal expertise, extensive knowledge of conservation opportunities and unmatched agency credibility, we deliver timely solutions to our partners. Ultimately, conservation guides everything we do.

We can implement mitigation via a single real estate transaction or manage and disburse funds for multiple acquisitions, habitat restorations or critical research needs. Our teamwork has achieved numerous conservation benefits across the United States, including the protection and restoration of habitats for a variety of species, including gray bats and grizzly bears, bald eagles and Atlantic salmon, and butterflies and rattlesnakes.

The Conservation Fund’s mitigation team provides expertise and proven solutions across the full spectrum of mitigation services once a project has been granted legal and regulatory approval, including planning, implementation and fund administration, acquisition and restoration.
