We are a small group of diehard conservationists unsatisfied with the pace of change in our field. So we brought together our expertise and creative thinking to try something different.
What We Work On
-
Water Infrastructure
Advancing innovative policies that provide equitable access to safe, reliable, and affordable water for communities and nature to thrive.
-
Restoration
Redefining federal- and state-level contracting to make it easier for government to define what outcomes they want to purchase and pave the way for efficient delivery of those outcomes.
-
Technology
Building political will and developing policy recommendations for federal agencies to consistently and strongly embrace technology for environmental and water stewardship.
-
Procurement & Finance
Focusing on uncovering and promoting the best applications of credits, tax incentives, payments and transferable access rights for conservation and highlighting how those markets could be designed to be more effective and efficient.
-
Mitigation on Tribal Lands
Creating opportunities for ecological restoration and compensatory mitigation of wetland and species impacts on tribal lands.
-
Endangered Species
Engaging with opportunities to keep the Act 95 percent effective at preventing extinctions and recover far more species faster and with less funding.
-
Agriculture
We forge partnerships between municipalities and farmers, refocus conservation programs onto results, and spur adoption of next-generation agriculture techniques and technologies.
-
Funding Navigator
We help utilities that serve overburdened communities engage with technical experts and residents to develop water infrastructure projects that advance equity and resilience and complete applications to access public funds.
