At Dougan, we honour the histories, knowledge, and rights of Indigenous peoples, recognizing that land acknowledgments are only the first step. True reconciliation requires ongoing efforts to address past injustices and support Indigenous sovereignty.
As stewards of the land, we strive to design for all species and honour the interconnectedness of the spaces we restore. Through these actions, we seek to build partnerships and pathways that contribute to a more just and sustainable future.
About Dougan Ecology
Realizing the ecological potential of every place
Since 1981, we've been using a science-based approach and innovative techniques to serve our clients and the natural world -- first as Dougan & Associates and now as Dougan Ecology.
Join us on our mission to reimagine our role in nature through ecological interpretation and design. Our team of ecologists, landscape designers, and GIS experts are pulling together ground-breaking technology, and decades of experience to offer innovative ecological solutions for an environmentally sustainable and resilient future.
Client-centered, mission-driven
We work collaboratively within our multi-disciplinary team and with our clients to create tangible results for the real world. We are driven by our mission to collaborate with diverse clients to collectively leave legacies of thriving ecological places!
Nature-based solutions
We work to address diverse challenges related to urbanization, conservation, and ecosystem services. We are always researching and growing with the evolving body of scientific knowledge. All our solutions keep ecological potential at the center.
Technological expertise
Our Geographic Information System (GIS) experts and analysts use cutting-edge AI machine learning models, remote sensing technology, and the latest digital tools, to offer accurate, efficient assessments, mapping, monitoring, and analysis.
Design excellence
Our landscape designers integrate ecological principles, beauty, and functionality to offer creative designs from habitat installments to green infrastructure.
Spatial-analysis for good
We use mapping and spatial analysis as a core tool for most of our projects. Cartography opens doors for systematic comprehension of the complex natural world, and leads to impactful visuals for better decision-making.
Optimism, creativity, and integrity
We are hopeful and excited to apply scientific expertise, ingenuity, and transparent collaboration to work with our clients to create a greener future. In today’s rapidly changing environment, we aren’t afraid to forge the way to create new solutions to unique and emerging challenges.
