Our Services
Data-Collection Consulting For Environmental Organizations & Agencies
Gathering the data for research, grants, or restoration plans can be time-consuming and expensive. As an L3C with over 35 years of environmental science consulting experience, our organization is committed and equipped to understand what data already exist, what they mean, and how to cost-effectively fill remaining information gaps. We also provide training on the use of low-cost environmental survey techniques that can be adapted for use by community scientists and volunteers.
Outdoor Adventures For Outdoor Enthusiasts and Community Scientists
Getting to paddle on a river or lake on a summer day? Fantastic. Simultaneously gathering important data for the long-term stewardship of that waterway? Even better. Interested? Fill out our contact form and we’ll let you know about our next adventure or help you plan your own!
Stewardship Trainings and Keynotes For Science Educators
Long-term sustainability of our waterways can't happen without future generations dedicated to collecting and using good information on rivers, lakes, and watersheds. We help educators and their students explore the sources and value of water data while they learn about and experience the waterways around them.
