KATY-CYPRESS WETLANDS MITIGATION BANK

Texas wetlands are important to the environment because they provide essential habitat for numerous species of plants and animals, store floodwater from heavy rains and serve as natural filters that remove contaminants from rivers and streams. But what happens when development encroaches on property that contains wetlands?

The Katy-Cypress Wetlands Mitigation Bank (KCWMB) provides an innovative approach to protecting our natural resources while enabling economic growth. After years of planning and construction, KCWMB has created a new wetland complete with ponds, natural grasses, hydrophilic plants, birds, fish and other animals. This wetland is fully accredited by the government which allows KCWMB to offer a unique solution for landowners facing wetland issues. KCWMB can sell wetlands to landowners to offset any wetlands they impact. This process allows development to proceed while ensuring no net loss of wetlands. All parties can share our limited resources and protect America's wetlands for future generations.
