Welcome

Welcome to The Dodson Group

A place where conservation stories, knowledge, and purpose come together.

If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re someone who cares—about the natural world, about meaningful work, and about living a life that leaves things better than you found them. You’re in the right place.

For many years, The Dodson Group operated as a conservation consulting firm. I worked with communities, businesses, golf courses, farms, and landowners across the U.S. and beyond—helping them develop habitat conservation plans, restore ecosystems, and weave environmental stewardship into everyday decisions.

But like most things in life, my work has evolved.

Today, The Dodson Group is no longer just about consulting—it’s about sharing knowledge, inspiring action, and passing along what I’ve learned to anyone who wants to make a difference where they live, work, or play.

Here’s What You’ll Find Here:

  • Books and Guides I’ve written—ranging from habitat management strategies to reflections on a life spent working with nature.

  • Free Resources you can download and use to start (or strengthen) your own conservation efforts.

  • Online Courses (coming soon!) that offer step-by-step guidance rooted in real-world experience.

  • Occasional opportunities to collaborate on meaningful projects, especially when it comes to habitat restoration or conservation planning.

This site is a hub for learning and doing. It’s a place where I bring together my past work, current projects, and future goals in a way that supports individuals, communities, and organizations that want to make nature part of their story.

Why It Matters

I believe conservation shouldn’t be a special activity for scientists or government programs—it should be a part of how we live. Whether you’re managing a backyard, a business, or a whole community, there are always opportunities to bring nature back into the equation.

Thanks for stopping by.
Take a look around, explore the resources, and feel free to reach out if something resonates.
