We make climate projection data applicable and accessible at local and regional scales, providing analysis, interpretation, and integration as needed.

Exploring a Sense of Place encourages people to explore and come into relationship with the place where they live. Through our Exploring a Sense of Place guidebook, leadership training workshops and local courses, we offer the opportunity for people to create new patterns in their lives by making themselves available to experience, be imprinted by, and become more intimate with the natural ecosystem in which they live their lives. Our objective is to fulfill Aldo Leopold’s promise that When people get to know the place where they live, they will care for it.
