Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse Mitigation Credits
For Projects in Watersheds located in the Front Range, North of Denver, Colorado
A Partnership between the Colorado State Land Board and a group of passionate conservation entrepreneurs
Approved in 2021, the Table Top Conservation Bank is Colorado's first privately-operated habitat conservation bank. The successful development and completion of the project were made possible through the collaborative efforts of Tim DeGraff, Braiden Chadwick, Ben Winslow, and Ben Guillon who provided essential technical, legal, and financing expertise.
This project represents a win-win for local communities, Colorado schools, and the environment. Leveraging private capital, we have restored and permanently protected over 250 acres of habitat for the Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse. The mitigation credits generated by this initiative enable essential community projects to move forward more efficiently, minimizing delays and reducing costs associated with federal environmental regulations. Additionally, our landowner, the Colorado State Land Board, benefits financially by earning a share of every credit sold. These revenues directly support the Colorado Public School System, creating a lasting impact for both education and conservation in the state.
