Washington, DC – March 8, 2016 – Trout Headwaters, Inc. (THI) CEO Michael Sprague met yesterday with senior agency representatives in the Roosevelt Room at the White House to discuss private investments for preserving and restoring America’s most vital natural resources.

During the two-hour roundtable on natural resource conservation, Sprague talked about how his company’s processes and technologies are enabling projects across the U.S. and discussed ways that he and others in the private sector are working to restore and preserve water, wetlands and species habitats.

The meeting, attended by Jeff Zients, Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and Shaun Donovan, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and others, was focused around the nearly $2B in new private sector investments being made to protect natural resources. Christy Goldfuss, Managing Director of the Council on Environmental Quality led discussions around policy solutions intended to help expand opportunities for public-private partnerships, and discussed mainstreaming conservation investments.

For more than 20 years now, THI has deployed technologies for industry, government and non-profits enabling efficient conservation quantification, most recently building the environmental big data platform “EcoBlu Analyst” which includes modules like “Mitigation Analyst” for mitigation and conservation users across the country. These platforms improve the transparency and reliability for the ecosystem markets and help to insure high quality projects to ground.   THI announced today that along with its many project partners, it intends to deploy significant new resources and investments to these interactive reporting platforms and to answer advance mitigation needs from the Department of Interior, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
