Vital Habitats Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving vital landscapes and advancing ecological science. Our work spans long-term land conservation and stewardship alongside research that strengthens restoration ecology and water resource management.

We provide enduring care for conserved lands, including mitigation banks, through hands-on stewardship, long-term ecological monitoring, and adaptive management. Our approach supports native ecosystems, maintains regulatory commitments, and ensures conservation investments continue to deliver ecological value over time.

We also support innovative research that improves how landscapes are restored and managed. By investing in applied science and forward-looking studies, we help develop practical solutions that enhance ecosystem resilience, inform conservation planning, and protect critical water resources.

Through stewardship and science, Vital Habitats Foundation works to protect habitats, deepen understanding, and promote lasting environmental health.
