Services

Consulting services

I help local governments, conservation districts, and other organizations plan and run environmental projects.

I take on short assignments and ongoing coordination. Before I start, we agree on what I’ll do, when it’s due, and what you’ll have at the end.

Watershed & agricultural program coordination

I help partners choose projects from watershed and agricultural plans, figure out who will lead each one, and keep track of funding and deadlines.

  • Partner meetings, agendas, notes, and action tracking
  • Project inventories and implementation schedules
  • Coordination of landowner and community outreach
  • Funding research and project concept development

Waste diversion & resource recovery

I can help plan a food-scrap drop-off site, review a recycling program, or work through how to collect, process, and find a use for a material.

  • Program assessment and operational planning
  • Food scrap drop-off and collection concepts
  • Material flow and waste data organization
  • Operator education and public-facing guidance

Grant development & administration

I help work out what a project will cost, write the application, and set up the records you’ll need if it’s funded.

  • Opportunity screening and requirements review
  • Project narratives, scopes, budgets, and timelines
  • Application coordination and supporting documentation
  • Progress tracking, reporting, and grant records

Project management & technical assistance

If your staff has a project to deliver and a full workload already, I can take on part of the work or coordinate it with you.

  • Work plans, milestones, and responsibility tracking
  • Research and comparison of practical options
  • Workshop and training coordination
  • Reports, procedures, and clear explanatory materials

Research, prototypes & experiments

Applied research & pilot development

I can research a process, compare options, sketch a prototype, or write a test plan with measurements you can collect using the staff and equipment you have.

That might mean comparing composting methods, reviewing a mushroom production layout, or planning a small cultivation trial.

How an assignment works

01 / Define the assignment

We talk through the question, the deadline, and what you need from me.

02 / Build a workable scope

I write down what I’ll handle and what I’ll need from your team.

03 / Check in as the work goes

I’ll raise questions as they come up and check with you if the scope needs to change.

04 / Hand over the work

You get the files, findings, and any instructions you need to pick up where I left off.

Independent projects

Cultivation, salvage & small-scale production

I’m experimenting with black soldier fly cultivation and exploring uses for salvaged materials. These are projects I’m developing alongside the consulting work.
