Informed Design Consulting

Traditional site planning is entirely human-centric. Without including other species that share the landscape with people, there can be long-term consequences. 

Cohabitats site assessment reveals critical information to inform projects pre-design including critical areas, priority habitats, habitat types and health, wildlife and plant species, soils and landform, water sources and quality.  

From the data harvested, our team provides recommendations and guidelines for creating more sustainable site plans, building orientation, footprint and wildlife-safe design features, a restorative approach to landscaping, stewardship planning and human-wildlife conflict prevention considerations.
