I am the founder of WildestFacts.com, a science blog and entertainment website.A land use planner, environmental consultant & writer based in British Columbia, Canada, I hold a Master of Community Planning, Master of Science in Environment & Management & Certificate in Local Government AdministrationWith local knowledge and a focus on getting the job done right when it comes to land use planning, business development, environmental research & writing projects, I believe in applying diverse skills, dedication and a clear perspective to deliver the best possible results for clients. My land use planning work focuses on applying the right information to achieve project approval. I bring a knowledge of site planning tied to the BC landscape and jurisdictional requirements for approval. To navigate the approval process, I prepare proposal material with design features tailored to the specific site and local government jurisdiction at hand to increase value. This improves quality and approval rates. My site plans respect and restore the specific environment of the region in which we are planning.My environmental consulting work centers on science based evaluation of ecosystem conditions, site features and elements, habitat values and species inventories. Based on my assessment, I will prepare native planting recommendations to improve the sustainability, biological diversity and nature access values of development and conservation area sites.
