About Us

Since 1994, Land and Water Resources, Inc., in Rosemont, Illinois, has been a national leader in creating, building, and managing wetland mitigation banks. As one of the nation's first private mitigation bankers, LAWR received its first permit from the Corps and Illinois Department of Natural Resources in 1994 for the nationally-acclaimed Otter Creek Mitigation Bank in St. Charles, Illinois.

Currnetly LAWR and it's affiliates operate permitted banks in Lake, Kane, Will, Rock Island and Winnebago counties in Illinois; in Weld County, Colorado. The serive area for the Rock Island County bank includes portions of Iowa and Illinois.

LAWR earned its proven track record by building strategic partnerships with landowners, engineers, contractors, and restoration ecologists.
