One of our core missions at ARK Ecological Consulting is to bridge the gap between scientific research and public knowledge. Our founder, Austin R. Kelly, is a passionate and experienced educator, having taught numerous courses at the university level and led countless public workshops, classes, and lectures.
Private Landowner Workshops: We can host a private class for you, your family, or your local landowner association on your property. Popular topics include "Native Plant Identification" or "Interpreting Your Land's Ecology."
Public & Corporate Speaking: Austin is available for speaking engagements and keynote presentations on a wide variety of topics.
