Nature centers

Membership, admissions and the field trip calendar live in three different systems.

A nature center runs a membership program, an admissions gate, a class catalog, a volunteer corps and a grant report, on a staff small enough to know every member by name. We build the system that carries all five without a spreadsheet in the middle of it.

What we hear from nature centers

The half of the job that is not on the trail.

For nature centers and outdoor education programs, and for the land trusts, watershed districts and public agencies that run public programming alongside the conservation work.

  • Your membership list, your donor list and your class roster are three exports that disagree

    We fix that

  • A family renews, signs up for camp and gives to the annual appeal, and the system reads them as three people

    We fix that

  • The school field trip request arrives by email and lives in one staffer’s inbox until she answers it

    We fix that

  • Grant reporting means rebuilding the same impact numbers by hand every spring

    We fix that

  • Volunteer hours sit in a spreadsheet that nobody trusts by August

    We fix that

  • The admissions desk, the gift shop and the website each know a different version of who your members are

    We fix that

Every one of these is a data model problem wearing a staffing problem’s clothes.
