Frequently Asked Questions

Our core mission is to promote and implement sustainable urban forestry and ecosystem management practices. We aim to create healthier, more resilient, and biodiverse urban environments that benefit both nature and human communities.

We partner with a diverse range of clients, including municipal governments, urban planners, real estate developers, landscape architects, homeowners associations, educational institutions, and environmental non-profit organizations.

While our office is based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, our consulting and project management services extend to various urban centres and regions seeking sustainable ecological solutions. Please contact us to discuss the specifics of your location.

Sustainable Urban Forestry involves the strategic planning, planting, and maintenance of trees and green spaces in urban environments to maximize ecological, social, and economic benefits over the long term. This includes managing tree health, mitigating climate change impacts, and enhancing biodiversity.

Green Infrastructure refers to a network of natural and semi-natural areas that provide ecological benefits and functions for human communities. This can include parks, green roofs, rain gardens, permeable pavements, and urban forests, all designed to manage stormwater, improve air quality, and provide habitat.

Our approach to Ecosystem Management is holistic and scientifically driven. We focus on preserving, restoring, and managing natural habitats to enhance biodiversity, ensure ecological connectivity, and maintain essential ecosystem services like water purification and nutrient cycling within urban and peri-urban landscapes.

Yes, we specialize in developing nature-based climate resilience solutions. This includes designing green spaces that mitigate urban heat island effects, implementing stormwater management systems to reduce flood risks, and selecting climate-adapted plant species to enhance urban ecosystem resilience.

Absolutely. We conduct comprehensive ecological research, biodiversity assessments, environmental impact analyses, and utilize advanced data analytics to provide evidence-based recommendations. Our research supports informed decision-making for land use planning and environmental policy.

Community engagement is central to our projects. We facilitate participatory design workshops, educational programs, and hands-on planting events to involve local residents. This fosters a sense of ownership, ensures local needs are met, and promotes long-term stewardship of green spaces.

Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and specific client needs. A small-scale urban greening consultation might take a few weeks, while a large-scale ecosystem restoration or urban forestry master plan could span several months to years. We provide detailed timelines after an initial consultation and assessment.
