Wildlands

Wildlands, Inc. is a habitat development and land management company with projects throughout California and the western United States. Established in 1991, Wildlands is one of the Nation's first private organizations to establish mitigation banks and conservation banks that protect wildlife habitat in perpetuity. Wildlands created the first private mitigation bank west of the Mississippi in 1994. Since then Wildlands has established nine more mitigation banks and has a number of other projects under development in California and Washington. Wildlands' banks include the creation of habitats such as tidal wetlands, seasonal marsh, riparian vegetation, and vernal pools. Wildlands also provides endangered species mitigation and habitat for species such as Chinook salmon, Aleutian Canada goose, burrowing owl, California clapper rail, fairy shrimp, giant garter snake, least Bell's Vireo, salt marsh harvest mouse, tiger salamander, San Joaquin kit fox, and other plant and insect species.
