We work with remote small communities and tribes to identify and address the unique waste and water quality challenges they face. We believe in environmental health and safety for all peoples and we provide technical expertise, coordinate efforts, and conduct research that advances that objective. We see local program capacity as the key for sustainable communities and ecological health.
We begin where the community is at, identify what is needed, and work together until its finished. We draw on the strengths and feedback of the communities we serve to do the best work we can. We partner with multiple tribal consortia, organizations, agencies, and companies to work on problems that are larger than just one community or one tribe.
