Planning

You manage priceless resources, and your community relies on you to have a plan in place for immediate and long-term success. For a firm founded in 2016, we bring decades of experience to managing the flow of water and ideas. With projects that range from master planning to climate planning, watershed planning to complex environmental documentation, Young Environmental is quickly emerging as a thought leader.

We enable planning partners to document their intentions in a way that helps their plans come true. Our team pairs technical expertise with people skills to authentically engage with your group. We present using both strengths, shifting gears seamlessly to navigate important conversations. We tell the project story in a user-friendly way, documenting decisions in plain language for any user to pick up and immediately understand. 

As skilled facilitators, we can help involve your citizens, write your plan, shepherd it through approval, and transition from planning to doing. We will lead important conversations that help focus on what resources and outcomes matters most for your stakeholders. Next, we will select and implement specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely (SMART) goals, creating sustainable solutions that integrate with long-term management objectives.
