INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT

Our team specializes in relationship-building as a core pathway to navigate complex environmental or community-based decision-making processes. We design projects that empower diverse stakeholders and community leaders to engage in participatory processes as leaders. We connect with audiences that are typically underrepresented and lack involvement, organization, or authority in planning and management processes. Successful projects require a commitment to good-faith efforts for  meaningful exchanges — a commitment to go beyond “checking a box.” By seeking to truly understand the needs and priorities of communities, organizations, and individuals, we help make connections across diverse audiences who share a common goal to reach transparent and well-informed solutions. 

We support our clients to build and establish lasting relationships with diverse audiences, including those typically underrepresented and lack involvement, organization, and/or authority in natural resource management. Through years of dedication and on-the-ground involvement, we have developed deep-rooted connections with commercial, sport, and recreational fishing industries, California tribes and native communities, and other groups and individuals with strong ties to natural resource access and uses. These unique and important relationships allow our team to anticipate and adapt to relational challenges so, together, we can help our clients set a new course from which to build enduring partnerships and collaborations and, ultimately, achieve project goals.
