Sustainability Consulting

Since 2010 I have worked with local governments, municipal staff, and volunteers to incorporate sustainability, climate change, and green infrastructure planning into municipal operations and community life.

As Sustainability Coordinator for the Village of Nyack, I have created the Nyack2030 Climate Action Plan, the Nyack Climate Adaptation Plan, and coordinated many other projects, for which Nyack has earned Silver level certification in New York's Climate Smart Communities program.

Nyack Tree Committee Chair

As Chair of the Nyack Tree Committee since its founding in 2014, I have obtained grants for a complete inventory of public trees in the village and for professional maintenance on the large trees. I started the Nyack Tree Project for community forestry, with 400 trees planted by volunteers since 2016, using public and private funding.
