Swallowtail is the largest ecosystem restoration company in Missouri and Kansas.  Over the last 20 years we have restored and managed more than 3,000 acres of native wetlands, forests, prairies, and streams.  Most notably, we have designed, built, and monitored 24 wetland and stream mitigation banks as well as several habitat restoration projects for threatened species. 

 

A deep ecological understanding and on-the-ground results are our focus. With projects ranging from 20 to 300 acres in size, our priorities are habitat diversity, wildlife benefits, and establishing a diverse blend of native plants appropriate to the soils and landscape position present at each location.
