NOW, MORE THAN EVER, THRIVING CITIES NEED NATURE
We help leading corporations, high-impact NGOs, and innovative planning and design projects create vibrant, biodiverse urban spaces.
We believe that healthy urban ecosystems are essential to livable, resilient communities. From sidewalk, to neighborhood, to city, Second Nature Ecology + Design works at the intersection of ecological science, climate resilience, and human health to support clients seeking to integrate nature into urban spaces.
Our projects create value for developers, residents, employees, and communities.
Access to high-quality nature impacts health outcomes, workplace satisfaction, property values, and more, while greenwashing and missed opportunities can generate reputational risk. Our work is informed by scientific research to identify the highest-impact interventions while balancing practicality, cost, and maintenance considerations.
