True Environmental

International Volunteer Day is coming up on December 5! At True Environmental, we believe that creating a more sustainable future starts with individuals taking action in their own communities. Volunteering is one of the most meaningful ways to give back, whether it’s restoring local wetlands, cleaning up waterways, mentoring students, or supporting environmental education programs. If you’re looking to get involved, explore opportunities near you through VolunteerMatch, a great resource for connecting with organizations that align with your interests and skills. This International Volunteer Day, let’s celebrate the power of community action and the difference we can make together.

Happy Thanksgiving from True Environmental! This season, we’re reflecting on the incredible partnerships, projects, and people that make our work meaningful. From restoring habitats to protecting communities, we’re grateful for the opportunity to collaborate across platforms and geographies to create a healthier, more resilient world. To our clients, colleagues, and communities: thank you for your trust, your passion, and your commitment to environmental stewardship. We’re excited to continue building a future rooted in science, sustainability, and shared purpose. Wishing you a warm and joyful Thanksgiving!

Today is World Fisheries Day. Healthy fisheries depend on healthy coastal ecosystems. Coastal wetlands such as salt marshes, mangroves, and estuaries serve as vital nurseries for fish and shellfish, protect shorelines from erosion, and improve water quality by filtering pollutants. Yet, these habitats are among the most threatened on the planet. At True Environmental, we’re proud to support projects that restore and protect these critical environments through innovative coastal wetland restoration efforts across the country. This work supports biodiversity, enhances community resilience, and contributes to the long-term sustainability of our fisheries and coastal economies. Today and every day, we celebrate the connection between thriving wetlands and thriving fisheries and the teams working to keep both strong.

Congratulations, Great Ecology!

Happy GIS Day! Today we celebrate the power of spatial thinking and the impact GIS technology has on communities. We’re excited to spotlight the incredible work by Matrix New World Engineering with Yavapai County on a project addressing an important public health and environmental challenge. Matrix developed a GIS-based model to estimate where existing or abandoned cesspools may be located. By integrating parcel data, septic and sewer records, and spatial layers from multiple jurisdictions, their approach helps the County move from guesswork to data-driven action—prioritizing inspections, upgrades, and public outreach where it matters most. This project is a perfect example of what GIS Day represents: turning data into insight and insight into impact. For Yavapai County, that means protecting water quality, improving public health, and managing environmental resources more efficiently. We applaud Matrix for this collaborative effort and their commitment to using location intelligence to solve complex challenges. On GIS Day, we celebrate the people and technology that transform spatial data into meaningful solutions. At True, we’re inspired by innovations like this and remain committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology to drive smarter decisions and sustainable outcomes. The future is data-driven—and we’re ready to lead the way.

Today we celebrate the simple yet powerful act of walking through nature. With over 60,000 miles of trails across the U.S., hiking connects us to the land, to each other, and to the environmental legacy we strive to protect. Whether you're trekking through rugged terrain or strolling a tree lined path, hiking offers more than just exercise, it’s a chance to unplug, reflect, and witness the ecosystems we work to restore every day. At True our teams understand the value of landscapes not only as habitats but as places of healing, learning, and connection. From wildfire protection plans to coastal restoration, our work supports the very trails and wild spaces that make days like today possible. So lace up your boots, grab a friend, and take a hike!

At True Environmental, we’re proud to support initiatives that promote sustainability and responsible resource management. Recycling isn’t just about reducing waste; it’s about rethinking how we use materials, minimizing our environmental footprint, and protecting the planet for future generations. Every small action adds up, from reducing single-use plastics to integrating sustainable practices into project design and operations. Together, we can build a cleaner, more resilient future. Let’s make every day an opportunity to recycle, reuse, and renew!

Today, on Veterans Day, True Environmental proudly honors the brave individuals who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication inspire us every day. Let us take a moment to reflect, appreciate, and thank all who have worn the uniform.
