Compensatory Mitigation for Agricultural Wetlands

Agricultural producers can purchase mitigation credits from our wetland mitigation program to compensate for wetland impacts. This gives you the freedom to clear or drain wetlands on your property without breaking compliance with wetland conservation regulations.

Our team develops wetland conservation projects that develop and restore high quality wetland habitats. These projects are called agricultural wetland mitigation banks. These banks generate credits from ecological enhancements which can be used to mitigate impacts for agricultural wetlands elsewhere. Our NRCS-approved credits provide a streamlined solution for agricultural wetland compliance issues. Purchasing our agricultural wetland mitigation credits transfers all USDA wetland compliance liability from the producer to Magnolia in perpetuity.

Magnolia currently operates this wetland mitigation program in Illinois, Nebraska and Indiana.

Capitalize on the natural resources on your property by enrolling your land in our agricultural wetland program. By allowing Magnolia to restore wetlands on your property, you can qualify for passive income while contributing to conservation efforts.

Our team partners with landowners to develop wetland conservation projects that restore and conserve high quality wetland habitats. These projects are called agricultural wetland mitigation banks. These banks generate credits from ecological enhancements, which can be used to mitigate impacts for agricultural wetlands elsewhere. Through the conservation of wetlands enrolled in this program, mitigation credits are made available for purchase by Magnolia to other producers to offset agricultural wetland impacts on their properties.

Expired or expiring CRP, CREP and WRP properties are excellent candidates for this program.

Eligibility and payment amounts are determined following a site visit. Magnolia currently operates this wetland mitigation program in Illinois, Nebraska and Indiana.
