Presentations & Training

Education goes a long way in helping people communicate about charged issues.  It also gives agencies, organizations, and leaders effective strategies to prevent and mitigate future conflict.

  • Water Literacy Training

    People care about water but don’t always know how to talk about it.  Learn about water history and policy in a way that is engaging and useful.  Interstate compacts, water rights, reserved rights, prior appropriation, in-stream flow, fish habitat, etc…

  • Natural Resources & Agricultural Stewardship Training

    Learn different strategies for stewarding land, water, air, fire, wildlife, and livestock.  Adapt your approach using traditional knowledge, science, policy, and economics. 

  • Communicating Across Cultural, Disciplinary, and Generational Boundaries Training

    Most vexing problems are interdisciplinary in nature and have underlying cultural and generational components.  Understanding the context of the problem can get to the root and bridge gaps between groups that are sometimes at odds.

  • Collaborative Stewardship Training

    Better co-stewardship guarantees better outcomes for people, land, and animals.  Learn how state, tribal, federal, and municipal governments, private landowners, hunters, fishers, and outdoor recreationalists can work together. 

Strategic Planning

Start with a plan and execute it with judgement.  We help tailor your planning for biodiversity, animal health, fire resilience, or whatever your unique goals are.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Red Leaf gathers the facts in a fair and impartial way. Rather than spending energy on methods that further conflict, we can provide alternative means to resolve disputes that place the power back in the hands of those closest to the situation.  ADR offers an opportunity to resolve problems more amicably for everyone.
