Our Company

Founded in 2005, we provide funding, project, and partnership development for a variety of non-profit organizations, government agencies, and other groups.

Our company uses the principles of ecological research, environmental management, social science, and community development to create effective and long-lasting solutions to environmental challenges.  We enhance the good ideas and projects of our clients with additional partners and resources to make them stronger and successful.

Belle Bergner, Owner and Senior Associate, has a Master of Science in Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity from the University of Pennsylvania and a B.A. in Biological Sciences from Mount Holyoke College.  While pursuing her degree, Belle completed training in environmental law, management, and policy at the U.Penn Law School and Wharton School of Business.  Belle's training and professional experience allows her to work at the interface of these multiple disciplines, and to ensure that sound science informs all aspects of her client's projects. 

We invite you to explore our services to see where we can help you reach your goals.
