Environmental Facilitation

Environmental Pollution Facilitation, Conflict Resolution

Do you really need an environmental facilitator when dealing with environmental issues?

Do you really need an environmental facilitator for environmental issues or will any experienced facilitator do?  Environmental issues facilitation presents challenges that differ somewhat from regular meeting facilitation.  First, workable solutions must be consistent with environmental law, an arcane field with which the average facilitator may not be familiar. However, an experienced environmental facilitator will be able to help your group successfully navigate the ins and outs of this complex field.

Conflict resolution is frequently an integral part of environmental issues facilitation, and there are conflict resolution strategies specific to this field.  An experienced environmental facilitator versed in environmental law and environmental conflict resolution strategies will have the experience and sensitivity necessary to understand not only technical environmental issues but also group participant issues.

Ruth Nicholson is a Certified Professional Facilitator and has over two decades of experience in environmental facilitation, conflict resolution and general meeting facilitation.  She has specific experience dealing with conflict involving:

• Endangered species issues
• Various types of pollution and clean up issues
• Trust issues

Early in her career, she was intimately involved in natural resource management and environmental policy and law.  As a facilitator, she has dealt with such emotionally charged environmental issues as nuclear and toxic waste cleanup, water usage, and a wide variety of endangered species issues.  Through her environmental conflict resolution skills, many groups in deep conflict have been able to work through their differences and successfully develop practical, implementable solutions with broad acceptance and support.

 In addition to her experience with environmental law and environmental issues facilitation, Ruth has been called on to facilitate meetings of a general nature as well.  She is a well-rounded facilitator with extensive capabilities and a track record of success.  So if your plans require environmental conflict resolution or meeting facilitation of any kind, Nicholson Facilitation and Associates and environmental facilitator Ruth Nicholson are far and away your best choice!
