Community Activation. We imbue planning with proven strategies to build community trust, foster knowledge sharing, facilitate community authorship, celebrate successes, and catalyze powerful storytelling to make planning an inclusive process.
Multi-Benefit Solutions. Grounded in peer-reviewed research into the co-benefits of green infrastructure, we guide communities through the process of identifying the community benefits they desire out of green infrastructure.
