Stream Wetland Services, L.L.C. (SWS) has been a prominent figure in the wetland restoration and mitigation industry since its establishment in 1994. Based in Louisiana, SWS provides a diverse array of specialized services aimed at reestablishing and conserving vital wetland ecosystems. The company collaborates with a wide range of clients, including corporations, government agencies, and individuals, tailoring its service offerings to meet the unique needs of each project.
SWS has garnered a reputation for excellence by leading initiatives in wetland restoration, working extensively with both large and small projects. Notably, SWS was instrumental in establishing some of the first Wetland Mitigation Banks in Louisiana. Currently, the company manages ten mitigation banks alongside multiple Permittee Responsible Mitigation Sites and an NRDA (Natural Resource Damage Assessment) site, showcasing its extensive expertise in the field.
In addition to their restoration services, SWS pioneered one of the first licensed wetland plant nurseries in the state in 1997. This nursery has successfully produced over two million individual wetland plants that have contributed to restoration efforts throughout Coastal Louisiana and Texas, reflecting the company’s commitment to sustainable practices. The nursery underwent expansions in 2005, adding 9,000 square feet of greenhouse space and enhancing its propagation capabilities, which continues to support various restoration projects.
The mission of SWS emphasizes not only delivering unparalleled service to customers but also ensuring responsible stewardship of natural resources. This dedication is underscored by their collaboration with key stakeholders such as federal and state governments, major oil and gas companies, master-planned communities, and various recreational entities including golf courses and fishing clubs.
