BANKS

Missing Link Mitigation Bank–Phase 2

174.26 Acres | Polk County

Project Details

The Missing Link Mitigation Bank is a 174.26-acre conservation area established to provide compensatory mitigation for wetland impacts located in the Southern Ocklawaha River Basin and Palatlakaha River (Nested) Basin. The Bank consists of mixed wetland hardwoods, cypress domes and strands, wet prairies, wet flatwoods, and upland pine flatwoods. The Bank has been degraded by ditching, cattle grazing, planted pine plantation, exotic species invasion, and prolonged fire suppression, resulting in significantly degraded wetland habitats. The restoration of the Bank will consist of backfilling ditches, pine tree thinning, exotic species eradication, and reintroduction of prescribed fire to restore all of the wetland and upland buffer habitats to their optimal condition.

The Missing Link Mitigation Bank – Phase 2 has freshwater forested and freshwater herbaceous credits available approved by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) and the St. John’s River Water Management District (SJRWMD).
