Trout Headwaters has been providing stream, wetland and habitat assessment, inventory and monitoring for more than 20 years.  We’ve also continually looked for ways to decrease costs and increase value in this work for our clients.

Since field data collection demands specialized equipment and skilled personnel, some project managers skip the assessment process altogether and more still fail to monitor the outcomes.  

Anyone managing ecological restoration planning should insist upon a good baseline assessment and monitoring program. Such an assessment can best be described as the basis by which to judge the success of any action taken to conserve, protect, enhance or restore water resources. Monitoring is performed on an ongoing basis to continue to evaluate the health of the resource after any action is taken in order to track results in a meaningful way.

Trout Headwaters performs baseline assessments to meet a variety of client objectives, and to guide all restoration planning, design and installation. New technologies have made the assessment process efficient, repeatable and low-cost – certainly the best investment toward a successful stream, river or wetland restoration project.  Take this important step forward on your project today.
