EIP is very pleased to share the news of our recent acquisition of the Barnes Prairie Mitigation Bank! A very exciting development and EIP’s first investment in the State that will deliver mitigation to a wide array of permitted impacts while also helping to restore and protect an important wetland ecosystem near the Chiwaukee Prairie, an internationally recognized wetland of significance.
Bear Real Estate Group has sold Barnes Prairie Mitigation Bank to Ecosystem Investment Partners V, LP. Located in the Southwestern Lake Michigan watershed of Wisconsin, Barnes Prairie has restored and enhanced approximately 400 acres of Wet to Wet-Mesic Prairie, Sedge Meadow, and Shallow Marsh wetland systems. The credits generated by this Mitigation Bank provide ecological offsets required under the Federal Clean Water Act and Wisconsin’s state regulations to both private and public clients. Mac Shropshire Consulting acted as financial advisor to Bear Real Estate Group. S.R. Mills, CEO & President of Bear Real Estate Group, commented: "Mac’s guidance and relationships in the space ensured that we received the highest possible value for our asset. We appreciated Mac’s personal touch and level of service and look forward to working with him in the future!" Nick Dilks, Managing Partner of Ecosystem Investment Partners, shared: “We are delighted to make this investment in Wisconsin, EIP’s first in the State, that will both deliver much needed mitigation to a wide array of permitted impacts while helping to restore and protect an important wetland ecosystem similar to the nearby Chiwaukee Prairie, a RAMSAR wetland of international significance.” #mergersandacquisitions #naturebasedsolutions #mitigationbanking

This winter, construction will near completion with over 40,000 native trees and grasses beginning to be planted before the site moves into monitoring. #naturebasedsolutions #ecologicalrestoration

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to tour the future Lake Ralph Hall, a project owned and operated by Texas Water Conservation Association members Upper Trinity Regional Water District. Once complete, this lake will provide 180,000 acre-feet of crucial water storage, supporting economic growth, recreation, and future water needs in an area projected to see a five-fold population increase over the next 50 years. A huge thank you to Texas Water Supply Partners and the Upper Trinity Regional Water District team for hosting us and offering a look at the bottom of what will soon be one of Texas’ newest lakes!

To commemorate the Katoomba Group's first meeting 25 years ago, EIP Managing Partner, Adam Davis, weighs in on the the history of "the value of nature restored", the growth and success of the US mitigation banking industry, and the continued criticality of environmental offsets.
"In a world where impacts to biodiversity will continue to occur, the only alternative to offsetting impacts is not offsetting impacts," says Adam Davis in a new commentary live on EM. "Restoration projects are needed, and the wildlife and natural systems that benefit from those projects do not know or care how the restoration work is ultimately funded."

It has now been a week since our Lookout Slough Tidal Habitat Restoration & Flood Improvement Project had all of its final breaches completed and we are very pleased to share that the site is now fully restored and serves as critical storage of Yolo Bypass flows. Over 25 miles of new tidal channels now serve as navigable waterways that are open to small watercraft and over 3,100 acres of tidal marsh habitat are inundated by daily tidal exchange. Thank you again to all of our partners and those that came out to celebrate the success of this landmark project last month!
