Second Nature Consulting grew naturally out of years of working directly with communities, landowners, and local governments on real environmental challenges. After spending my early career in watershed management, green infrastructure design, and public-facing environmental education, I saw a growing need for practical, approachable sustainability support—especially for people who want to do the right thing but aren’t sure where to start.

Throughout my work, I found myself bridging gaps: translating technical concepts into something a community group could use, turning stormwater data into clear solutions for a landowner, or helping organizations secure grants to make their projects possible. Over time, those experiences shaped a simple idea—sustainability shouldn’t feel overwhelming. It should feel second nature.

Second Nature Consulting was created to offer exactly that: grounded, science-based guidance that meets people where they are. This business is built on everything I’ve learned in the field and in classrooms, from hands-on conservation to community engagement. My goal is to provide support that is clear, collaborative, and genuinely useful—whether it’s designing green infrastructure concepts, assisting with grant needs, or helping communities understand their landscapes.

What started as a collection of experiences has become a mission: making sustainability accessible, doable, and meaningful for everyone I work with.
