BANKS

Little Bullfrog Creek Mitigation Bank

189 Acres | Hillsborough County

Project Details

The Little Bullfrog Creek Mitigation Bank is a 189 acre conservation area in the process of being established to provide compensatory mitigation for wetland impacts located in the Tampa Bay basin. The Bank consists of conifer-hardwood mixed wetlands, wet flatwoods, and upland pine flatwoods along the banks of Little Bullfrog Creek. The Bank has been degraded by ditching and draining, cattle grazing, clearing for pasture, selective pine tree logging, exotic species invasion, and prolonged fire suppression, resulting in significantly degraded wetland habitats. The restoration of the Bank will consist of backfilling ditches, creation of new wetlands, exotic species eradication, supplemental planting, and reintroduction of prescribed fire to restore all of the wetland and upland buffer habitats to their optimal condition.

The Little Bullfrog Creek Mitigation Bank will have palustrine forested credits available approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). The Little Bullfrog Creek Mitigation Bank will also have freshwater forested credits available approved by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).
