Government & Public Relations

Principals who have briefed Congressional delegations and run public affairs inside the Forest Service.

The problem

Agency processes are opaque from the outside

Landowners, communities, and companies routinely find themselves on the wrong side of a federal or state process they had no realistic way to anticipate — a designation, a treatment decision, a closure, or a policy shift.

Our principals spent careers inside those processes. We know how the decisions actually get made, who makes them, and when input still matters.

What we do

Policy and engagement

  • Forest and fire policy analysis and guidance
  • Federal and state agency engagement strategy
  • Congressional and legislative briefing support
  • Public comment and NEPA process support
  • Community and stakeholder engagement planning
  • Public communication and media support during and after incidents
How it works

Our process

Step 1

Map the landscape

Which agencies, which authorities, which decision points, and what the real timeline is.

Step 2

Define the position

A defensible, evidence-based position that will hold up in public and on the record.

Step 3

Engage

Briefings, comment, and direct engagement with the people who actually decide.

Step 4

Sustain

Follow-through across the multi-year horizon these processes usually run on.
