Stream + Wetlands Foundation

Stream + Wetlands Foundation (formerly Ohio Wetlands Foundation) formed as a non-profit 501(c)(3) in 1992 in response to the regulated community’s need to have a compensatory mitigation alternative for impacts to aquatic resources, such as streams and wetlands. S+W uses funds from entities required to provide compensatory mitigation for impacts to aquatic resources to: acquire land; design and complete restoration and rehabilitation projects; and to provide long-term maintenance and stewardship of completed projects. Funding from S+W also supports interpretive signage, public education, recreation, on-site research, and academic research.
