Our Work
EBX Endangered Species Habitat Conservation Banks
EBX is establishing two endangered species conservation banks in the Southeast, encompassing almost 2000 acres of important habitat. EBX is proud to be working with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, State natural resource agencies, local land trusts, and conservation organizations to bring endangered species banking to the Southeast.
Thunderstruck Species Conservation Bank
EBX is establishing an endangered species habitat bank in West Virginia. The goal of the bank is to extend the habitat for the Cheat Mountain salamander and the West Virginia northern flying squirrel. Adjacent to the Monongahela National Forest, the property possesses some of the best remaining examples of unprotected red spruce / northern hardwoods forestland in the State with significant biodiversity. The conservation bank will include both preservation and restoration of important habitat.

North and South Carolina Endangered Species Bank
The Carolina Heelsplitter Conservation Bank (CHCB) will preserve, enhance, and restore habitat for the Federally Endangered Carolina mussel. The bank offers a solution to preservation and recovery of the rare and endangered mussel indigenous to the region and will include large, contiguous areas of high quality habitat. The service area of the CHCB will include certain watersheds in North and South Carolina. Credits from the bank will be allocated to the bank through the regulatory agencies, and can be acquired by various stakeholders to compensate for unavoidable impacts to mussel habitat.
