Hundreds of projects. Thousands of acres. A team that knows how to get land protected — and keep it that way.
Our staff and board have worked on hundreds of projects conserving thousands of acres through conservation easements and mitigation work across Virginia and the country.
We work hand-in-hand with state and federal agencies and private conservation groups, so we know how to navigate every channel with efficiency — making sure important conservation projects get protected, and stay protected.
Our team of experts includes ecologists, lawyers, and conservation consultants with deep experience in the ecological restoration space.
Holding conservation easements on important, protected lands — the legal backbone of permanent protection.
Lifelong monitoring and care of wetland and stream mitigation banks.
Managing the dedicated stewardship endowments that fund a property’s care in perpetuity.
Stewardship management plans built to meet every regulatory standard.
Conservation-defense coverage that stands behind every easement we hold.
When you place a bank with Broad Water, the math works in your favor — twice.
We are specialists in placing a conservation easement on an existing or proposed Virginia-based bank to deliver our clients an additional 5% in credit allocation — regardless of whether the bank has sold out of its allocated credits.
Whether a bank sells out in six months or six years, we transition it to long-term stewardship smoothly — moving funds from escrow to endowment earlier in the bank’s life, growing the stewardship fund over its entire lifespan.
We monitor every easement, every year — in perpetuity. Not for a decade, not while it’s convenient: forever. Every property we hold is backed by a dedicated stewardship endowment, built to fund that promise for good.
We hold a conservation easement on the bank, locking in protection and unlocking added credit allocation.
As credits sell, we move funds from escrow to a dedicated stewardship endowment ahead of schedule.
Annual, on-the-ground monitoring and documented reporting for the life of the easement.
Transparent records keep regulators, sponsors, and the public confident the land stays protected.
Whether your bank is proposed or nearly sold out, there is a smarter path to long-term stewardship.
