Bring the question. Let's shape the work.

Some learning needs a custom format. Some projects need a careful conversation before the fieldwork begins.

Our work brings together Tatâga Inc’s experience in Indigenous engagement, governance and organizational learning, and ZWULF Inc’s experience in ecological fieldwork and environmental consulting. Each project starts with a clear scope, responsibilities and the right people.

Custom field learning

Build a field day, short-course series or seasonal learning program around what your team needs to practise. We work with you to define the learning goals, field activities and useful outcomes.

Land-based program development

Shape a program with clear learning goals, practical delivery and a respectful approach to place and knowledge. We help identify the relationships, expertise and permissions the work needs.

Indigenous engagement support

Discuss how to approach relationships and participation thoughtfully. Work must be grounded in the people and Nations involved. We do not represent a Nation or provide consent on its behalf.

Ecological field and project support

Bring us your questions about field methods, habitat observations, monitoring or ecological interpretation. Technical and regulated work will be scoped to the qualifications and professional responsibilities of the people engaged.

Workshops for professional teams

Explore facilitated learning for biologists, researchers, academics and environmental teams, including observation, field documentation, knowledge boundaries and responsible collaboration.

Tell us enough to begin

Send a short description of your project, location, goals and timing. Include your organization and approximate group size if you are planning a workshop. We will discuss fit before proposing a scope.

Discuss your project

Scope, fees and delivery arrangements are agreed before work begins.
