Why? Because we feel an urgency to build resilient, impactful, strategic, and compassionate organizations. We believe that together, no matter where we live or what we do, conservation should and can enrich the lives of all people in tangible ways and build more inclusive, thoughtful, and healthy communities.

Our approach

We work with you to enhance your leadership, to create a culture that inspires participation and volunteer efforts, and to increase contributions for the organization and related programs and projects.

Rather than do the work for you, we focus on coaching: providing you with the strategy, tactics, skills, feedback, brainstorming, examples, and copy-writing/editing support that allow you to continue to grow and expand your impact beyond our work together.

We focus on communications and engagement that draw people together—and to your land trust—using techniques from neuroscience, marketing, donor-centered engagement, environmental physiology, conservation psychology, and organizational and behavioral change theory.

In partnership with W Design, or your own designers, we also work to help transform your outreach, educational materials, and marketing to be more visually inspiring and impactful.

My experience includes open space planning, acquisition, and management as a municipal official, land trust board member, and private consultant.

Mosaic Eco-Solutions was birthed during COVID and parallel to the actual birth of our second child. As a working parent with two young children, it made sense that a small-scale independent consultant model could potentially align with both our work/life balance needs and contribution to the conservation community. The “Mosaic” is a reference to “mosaic of patches” which is a landscape pattern made up of distinct habitat patches, or areas with a specific size, shape, and characteristics including individual forest stands, farms, wetlands, shrubland patches, highways, or towns. The patches are set within a matrix, which is the “background ecological system” of the landscape. We believe that our company within our community within the region is working towards conserving, monitoring, and expanding the health of the landscape. Our vision is designing and developing patches in our backyards, in our forests, and anywhere that can benefit the health of our landscape ecosystems. We specialize in working with private landowners, developers, land trusts, municipalities, and all stakeholders that know the value provided by environmental systems around us, and hopefully next to us and within us.

Why do we believe in “buy local”? Active management and stable local food and natural resource markets are key to people’s wellbeing. These resources and products from resources are the base of local economies; therefore, purchasing local products keeps money in local communities. This means resiliency, accessibility, and equity.

Why walkable communities? Land has immediate and long term value; more so immediate with the current price of housing and rent. We think making decisions that affect the next generation is important; therefore, it only makes sense to conserve and keep natural landscapes undeveloped and unhoused. We think that high density, walkable communities allow this and can be the solution. Smaller footprint does not mean void of natural ecosystems. Rural town centers, existing city communities, previously developed industrial lots all have the potential to support walkable communities. Suburban sprawl and strip development need to be removed from zoning regulations; these are not natural systems and cause significant fragmentation to the landscape.

Why active management? It is clear that our past land use has impacted the natural landscape, it is even more clear that our current decisions are drastically impacting our natural landscape. There can be no more “preservation” as a rule of thumb. We need to accept “no action” as an active management strategy that might work in some areas. Look at the non-native invasive plants and insect species that are driving the landscape’s natural development, creating monocultures. We want to create a cooperative of private landowners that have natural and healthy functioning ecosystems, and we would like to use eco-types from these members to restore and diversify the landscape. Active management supports the local economy, local resources, local farmers, local energy sources, and most importantly the creation of mosaic of patches.

Our mission is to create stunning and sustainable native landscapes specifically designed to support and enhance the ecosystems essential for our future.
