Abstract

A challenge for sustainable development on restored landscapes is to secure funding in perpetuity for restoration. We report on a project that has provided a stable source of long-term funding for restoration in conjunction with development of housing, a golf course, and other amenities. At the restored site, historic grazing and a dam system had degraded hydrology and vegetation. Post-restoration ecological metrics now indicate a five-fold increase in spawning trout, and doubling of bird species. Private funding supports prairie and wetlands restoration efforts through a contractual sales-transfer fee and homeowners' dues. A naturalist coordinates restoration and land stewardship. The project provides a model for restorative-development projects supported in perpetuity.
