Ecological Stewardship Consulting Options
Choose the Level of Stewardship Support That’s Right for You
Not every property or organization needs the same level of ecological consulting. Some clients need help answering one specific question or deciding what to do next. Others are managing active restoration or native-landscape projects that benefit from guidance throughout the year.
These options are designed for private landowners, HOAs and community associations, property managers, campuses, and commercial properties. Choose the level of support that best fits your needs. If you are not sure, start with the introductory consultation.
Introductory Stewardship Consultation
Start with expert guidance for a specific property, ecological challenge, or next step. We will discuss your goals, evaluate the situation, and provide practical recommendations for moving forward.
This is the best starting point if you are new to Natural Communities, have a focused question, or want help deciding what your property needs before committing to a larger engagement.

Annual Stewardship Consulting
For landowners, associations, property managers, and organizations that want professional guidance, priority setting, and a strategic roadmap for the coming season. Annual consulting is a good fit when you have multiple restoration or landscape priorities and want help deciding where to focus time and budget over the year.

Quarterly Stewardship Consulting
For larger properties and active restoration or native-landscape projects where recommendations need to evolve with the seasons, site response, invasive-species pressure, maintenance needs, and project progress. Quarterly consulting provides recurring opportunities to evaluate what is happening on the ground and adjust the strategy as conditions change.

Not Sure Which Option Fits?
Start with the introductory stewardship consultation. We can talk through your property, goals, and current challenges and determine whether one-time guidance, ongoing support, or a more customized engagement makes the most sense.

Natural communities and specifically Nick has been an
excellent and knowledgeable entity to work with on my big project. With the
help of my school, my students, many community partners, and Natural
Communities, we are in the process of restoring an area on a high school campus
to a natural prairie/pond area. Nick has come out to do site visits, he has
recommended various plant species that would work best for us, and he has been
able to get us what we want wholesale. Our site is not an easy project because
we are restricted to only native plants and native seeds and Natural
Communities has excelled in meeting our needs on this. Overall, I am so glad we
ended up working with Natural Communities because they have helped so much.

Our company has worked with Nick Fuller since before he
became Chief Ecological Officer for Natural Communities, LLC. His
knowledge of native plants and native seeds is remarkable. Nick was the
original steward of our 4-acre wildflower/wild grass prairie and has served us
as a reliable consultant ever since 2006. His continuing insights have
helped us to maintain and grow a healthy ecosystem.

I am extremely pleased with the one hour consultation I had
with Nick Fuller regarding our wetland creek. We have invasive plants and
grasses that have taken over our creek bed and we needed guidance on how to
both effectively remove the invasives and restore the area with native
plants suitable for the creek. Nick asked pertinent questions that allowed Nick
to identify plants and shrubs suitable for the area with a timeline for
planting. Nick also provided a detailed outline of the steps needed to remove the
invasives. I highly recommend Nick to anyone seeking help with their native
plant garden or to anyone interested in growing a native plant garden.

Spoke to owner in depth regarding a couple of different
projects I’m working on- very knowledgeable and professional. I plan on
purchasing seed for my projects through Natural Communities and will follow up
in the future if necessary. Highly recommend for native/natural projects!
