Ecosystems move slowly in Colorado's harsh climate. It often takes several years to see the full effect of restoration and management work in native plant communities. We can provide long-term consulting services to manage your community's native areas in a sustainable and effective way. 

Some benefits of long-term consulting services: 

• Adaptive management: management plans can be flexible to respond to real conditions like drought

• Monitoring: often takes a few growing seasons to evaluate the outcome of management strategies

• Site-specific recommendations: more time allows for a better understanding of the site and more tailored recommendations

Short-term consulting can help optimize an existing open space management program. Existing land managers with experience on the site can work with us to develop a comprehensive and adaptive management plan. Management plans can provide recommendations for mowing timing, revegetation, and invasive species control, as well as helping with any other community concerns. 

We can also work with your community management to educate residents about the value and function of native open spaces in their neighborhood.
