Governments & Watershed Wealth
Watershed Wealth is a cost-effective solution for multiple
governmental management, planning and environmental problems, and contributes to
local economic development.
Local & Regional Governments
The Watershed Wealth approach is popular with homeowners, developers, farmers
and the business community. If no one in your jurisdiction is performing
Watershed Wealth, your own Public Works, Parks or Environmental departments can
undertake our program on public lands or right of ways, and keep the income to
augment budgets. Watershed Wealth is currently developing a s special package
that provides developers an easy, cost-effective way to improve property value,
improve habitat and meet permitting requirements. Contact us for more
information on how we can work with your local government.
Senior Governments
Senior governments support the Watershed Wealth approach because it both
improves habitat and assists them with their mandated activities of planning,
natural resource management and state of the environment reporting. At Watershed
Wealth, our business is to re-grow healthy habitat in places it was lost or
degraded. Monitoring that occurs in the regular course of checking “crop” across
our Watershed Wealth clients sites generates a consistent suite of baseline
habitat and ecosystem data in amounts and breath of parameters that no
government has capacity to undertake themselves. Many of these data point
streams are in previously unmonitored areas, or on sites from which information
is not usually accessible to government. This real-time data is housed in an
online GIS based warehouse. Data streams, and if desired their interpretation,
are a cost effective alternative to in-house data collection and can greatly
assist agencies with natural resource management planning and reporting during
budget-shrinking times. Senior governments also like Watershed Wealth because of
its consumer, business and landowner-targeted educational components and social
networking (community based social marketing), and that it generates profits
that fund key environmental initiatives that governments and non-profits and
community groups undertake.
