I can help you learn more about the animals, plants, and fungi on your land, including native and invasive species, edible plants and fungi, and even species which may be toxic or otherwise dangerous. Consultations involve me thoroughly exploring your property and creating a report of what I find, then working with you to create a plan to further your goals.

Examples of consultations I offer include:

• Inspection/assessment – Knowledge is power. I’ll catalog the species I find on your land, whether you’re looking for a general overview, a survey of edible species, or a heads-up about potentially dangerous organisms.
• Native habitat restoration – Much of the Pacific Northwest has been drastically changed from its natural state, but as the caretaker of your property you can work with me to create a plan for restoring native species and making your land more wildlife-friendly.
• Bird habitat optimization – You started with bird feeders, now let’s apply longer-term solutions and welcome even more avian neighbors to your property–and views!
• Foraging/wild gardening – Edible wild plants can enrich your diet while deepening your connection to your land. Beginning with the delicious and nourishing species already growing around your home, let’s plan how to encourage new local food webs for ongoing personal foraging opportunities.

Contact me to schedule a preliminary meeting. Don’t see what you’re looking for here? Get in touch, and I can put together a customized consultation for you. What do you need to know about nature today?
