We are a non-profit organization based on Vancouver Island that supports collaboration in natural resource management with a process-focused, outcome-oriented approach.
We work to increase collaboration in Canadian natural resource management so that communities, Indigenous nations, governments, industry, and environmental stewards are equipped with the processes, tools, and skills needed to work together effectively.
We design and lead processes to help people through difficult problems to find durable solutions that reflect a broad range of values. With a focus on process that delivers tangible outcomes, we work to build trust through meaningful collaboration to enable futures that may not have otherwise been possible.
