Blackberry Creek Headwaters Mitigation Bank, Campton Township
Campton Township purchased the 220-acre Blackberry Creek Headwaters Conservation Area in 2001 as part of their $18.7 Million Open Space Land Acquisition and Development Program. In order to conduct cost-effective ecological restoration of this 115-acre property, the Township selected our team to finance, design, approve, construct, and administer the Blackberry Creek Headwaters Mitigation Bank. This project involved designing, permitting, constructing, and managing a wetland mitigation bank with a long history of agricultural use and an extensive drain tile system. The agricultural portion of the property consisted of an extensive drain tile system located at the headwaters of Blackberry Creek and has been restored to a high-quality wetland and prairie complex.
