Sustainability Program Consulting

Sustainability program consulting provides comprehensive guidance for organizations seeking to strengthen their environmental impact and long-term resilience. This service includes full program assessments, sustainability goal development, and strategic planning tailored to the scale of your organization. Support may involve designing new initiatives, improving existing programs, reviewing operational practices, and identifying opportunities to reduce waste, conserve resources, and improve efficiency. Deliverables can include implementation roadmaps, policy recommendations, sustainability metrics, and reporting frameworks—ensuring your organization has clear direction and measurable progress.

Watershed Management

Watershed management services support landowners, organizations, and municipalities in understanding and caring for their local water resources. This includes watershed assessments; coordination and interpretation of water quality testing; analysis of stormwater flow patterns; erosion and sedimentation evaluations; and identification of pollution sources or runoff issues. Recommendations may involve best management practices (BMPs), green infrastructure solutions, and targeted strategies to improve water quality and ecosystem health. Projects can range from small-scale property assessments to broader community or watershed-wide planning efforts, with an emphasis on science-driven solutions, measurable outcomes, and regulatory alignment. 

Funding

Grant Research & Writing

Grant research and writing services connect organizations with funding opportunities that align with their mission, project goals, and capacity. This includes comprehensive funding scans across federal, state, and private sources; vetting opportunities for eligibility; and assisting with project framing to meet funder priorities. Writing services include developing compelling narratives, crafting project descriptions, assembling budgets, organizing supporting documents, and ensuring compliance with submission requirements. Whether pursuing project-based funding or long-term program support, this service enhances competitiveness and increases the likelihood of securing high-impact funding.

Design & Technical Services

Native Planting & Green Infrastructure Design

Native planting and green infrastructure design services focus on creating landscapes that are ecologically resilient, low-maintenance, and beneficial for local biodiversity. This includes site evaluations, soil and hydrology considerations, and tailored plant selection designed to support habitat improvement and long-term sustainability. Designs may integrate rain gardens, bioswales, pollinator plantings, riparian buffers, prairie restorations, and permeable surfaces. The planning process ensures that each project meets ecological goals while also supporting aesthetics, property function, and long-term maintenance needs. Guidance on installation, maintenance, and seasonal care can be provided to support project success from design through establishment.

Regulatory Compliance & Support

MS4 Program Support, Development & Tracking

MS4 program support services assist municipalities in meeting stormwater permit requirements through coordinated planning, implementation, and documentation. This includes support across multiple MS4 program areas such as public education and outreach, public involvement, good housekeeping, illicit discharge detection, construction and post-construction stormwater controls, and SWPPP development and implementation. Services may also include program tracking, documentation support, annual reporting assistance, and coordination with watershed partners to support permit compliance and long-term stormwater goals. 

Permit Management & Regulatory Support
Permit management services help organizations, municipalities, and project teams navigate complex federal, state, and local environmental permitting requirements. This includes identifying required permits, preparing applications, coordinating with regulatory agencies, tracking approvals, and ensuring ongoing compliance throughout project design and construction. Experience spans stormwater permits (MS4 and SWPPP), wetland and stream impact permits, floodplain coordination, and other regulatory processes across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, ensuring projects move forward efficiently and in full compliance.

Green infrastructure project management services support projects from concept through construction and close-out. This includes project scoping, schedule and budget coordination, contractor and partner coordination, construction oversight, inspection support, and documentation. Cross-trained in project management, construction management, and inspection, I help ensure green infrastructure and conservation projects are implemented efficiently, meet design intent, and align with regulatory and funding requirements.
