Not a day went by in the two years I worked with Shafer Consulting that I did not thank my lucky stars for their services. They have a rare ability to synthesize complex environmental issues and convey them clearly and creatively to audiences of all backgrounds. Organized, disciplined, efficient, enthusiastic and responsive, Shafer Consulting is quite simply one of the most talented teams I have ever worked alongside.

Thank you for  doing such a good job …. I am so glad you’re one of the folks fighting on the side of environmental conservation. Good skills, positive energy, production oriented, and a firm grasp of reality are a powerful constellation of attributes.

Heidi Harley

New College of Florida

You did a fantastic job [explaining] complex and complicated science to non-scientists – no small feat. My table mates all commented on your ability to make it understandable and relevant. I believe many left the luncheon knowing more about their community and responsibility to keep it clean and beautiful.
