Ian Wright is an environmental consultant with a focus on regenerative development. He believes that better outcomes for land use and the environment are possible when landowners and builders are empowered with useful resources and a predictable process.

Over the past decade, Ian has had the privilege of working with some of the top environmental consultants and companies on Vancouver Island. Of the diversity of clients and projects he's worked on, he found that some of the most rewarding experiences were helping landowners build their dream homes in an environmentally sensitive way. Yet, most firms also served large corporate and government clients who needed to be prioritized, too often leaving smaller landowners and builders underserved. Ian saw that by focusing on serving residential landowners and builders, and creating useful client resources and systems to provide a predictable process, these clients could get their environmental development permits quicker and with fewer complications. This is what Ian has set out to do with Tributary Environmental Consulting Inc.

Highlights of Ian's experience:

- Assessed hundreds of kilometers of streams for land development and forestry, including over 50 riparian assessments

- Designed and monitored ecological restoration and habitat offsetting plans for over a hundred hectares of streams, wetlands, riparian areas, and other environmentally sensitive areas, including freshwater and marine fish habitat

- Mapped thousands of hectares of sensitive ecosystems and contributed to the map-based assessment of fish habitat for 25 west coast watersheds

- Created environmental management plans and monitored large and small environmentally sensitive construction projects

- Contributed to the creation of regional-scale riparian management and sensitive ecosystems conservation strategies for forestry and government

- Managed teams of up to 5 environmental professionals and contracts up to $150,000
