Land Use & Environment
What We Do
We partner with municipalities, agencies, nonprofits, and the private sector to expand access to clean, renewable energy, build green infrastructure, and safeguard natural resources like rivers, forests, and drinking water. We help communities confront the effects of climate change, reduce food insecurity, and plan for natural hazards with resilience in mind.
With technical expertise and a passion for sustainability, our team helps communities grow wisely, equitably, and in harmony with the environment—ensuring a thriving Pioneer Valley for generations to come.
