The Daisy Mitigation Bank is named for Daisy Morris Rabb. During the 1930s, she and her husband, B.B. Rabb, acquired most of the property on which the bank is now located. They used the land for cattle ranching, but they loved the land for much more than that.
It was Daisy who inspired in her children and in her children’s children a reverence for and deep connection to nature. She was the constant gardener who chatted about the daily habits of birds, about the seasons for flowers, wild and otherwise, and about the myriad critters who shared the land her family called home.
We are Della, Robert, Clinton and Joel, the children of Joe and Peggy Rabb and the grandchildren of Daisy and B.B. Rabb. We and our spouses have established a conservation easement with the Wildlife Land Trust and created a limited liability corporation to operate the Daisy Mitigation Bank, our generation’s effort to continue to preserve Granny Daisy’s gift and her legacy.
We are committed to enhancing and maintaining our wetlands, streams and forests by revegetating with native grasses, shrubs and trees that not only provide wildlife habitat but also reduce our carbon footprint. We believe our efforts will assure that the extraordinary land we inherited will remain a place that people and wildlife can enjoy in perpetuity.
