Ep 47: The Clean Water Act and Ecological Offsets, with Preston Smith

Preston Smith is the Managing Partner of Wildwood Environmental Credit Company and President of Trout Headwaters Inc (also featured in episode 14 with Mike Sprague). Wildwood owns, operates, and manages roughly 35,000 acres of permanently conserved ecosystems in the southern US. In this episode, Preston walks me through environmental offsets and how they work. We also discuss the Clean Water Act, including how it started, the changes that have been made over the years, and where we stand today.
