Connecting the dots between our homes and theirs

Not sure where to begin?
Start with what you’re actually trying to do.

Building or renovating soon?

Start with the Wildlife Impact Assessment — $800, fixed scope. I’ll review your drawings, materials, and site, and hand back clear, specific recommendations.

Ready for something more involved?

A full Conservation-Based Design engagement applies the whole framework directly to your project, start to finish.

Just want to learn?

The Guide (coming soon) collects every Field Note comparison in one organized reference. Until then, Field Notes and the Library are both free and growing weekly.

Want the short version of who’s behind this?

I’m Ash — I design homes and trace their ecological consequences, from an off-grid cabin in the Olympic foothills.
