The Yockanookany Mitigation Bank is the first project completed by Mitigation Resources. Located in Attala County, Mississippi, the bank services the HUC 8 watersheds of the Upper Pearl and Middle Pearl Strong. The site is adjacent to the Yockanookany River, within a riparian ecosystem dominated by bottomland hardwood forests. Historical timber activities had significantly compromised the existing ecological value. Through the removal of man-made drainage ditches and diversion structures, control of invasive species, and planting of desirable species, Mitigation Resources restored this site to a functioning ecosystem. The bank provides compensatory mitigation for both streams and wetlands.
