BY THE NUMBERS:
Over $3.2 million in grants and community services distributed since 1998.

Over 48 partner organizations engaged each year to forge leadership for on-the-ground conservation solutions.

Over 140 communities served each year.

Over 500 U.S. regulators from all U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Districts, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Environmental Protection Agency regional offices have been trained to develop successful conservation and mitigation banking programs.

We believe communities and corporations can achieve environmental and economic successes when they work together to develop shared knowledge, networks and technical skills. Our Conservation Leadership Network (CLN) is a team of experts that brings diverse constituencies together to achieve common ground.

 

We deliver action and impact. Our services focus on collaborative problem-solving—bringing people together to facilitate results such as:

 

    • Revitalized downtowns
    • Comprehensive transportation solutions
    • Small business development
    • Resolution of infrastructure challenges
    • Creating more livable communities
    • Supporting innovative markets for ensuring water quality

 

We deliver these results through multi-disciplinary course offerings, innovative demonstration projects, regional programs, and sustainability consulting that supports on-the-ground solutions.
