Storytelling is a powerful tool for change. Our Community Stories inspire and educate, illustrating successful nature-based solutions partnerships within local communities. We are currently collaborating to create in-depth stories for communities across the country. We use videos and StoryMaps (small, interactive websites that feature maps, text, photos, and other media). Explore the diverse stories below!

Does your community need a StoryMap to tell a story of restoration or resilience? We want to help communities across the country tell their stories of Nature-Based Solutions. Check out our StoryMap toolkit, and an additional StoryMap tutorial created by the University of Victoria Map Shop, both focused on creating an impactful StoryMap. Contact us using the email at the bottom of this page to get assistance in telling your community organization’s story:

• We can provide a loaner ArcGIS account to create your story
• We can help you craft your story
• We’ll host your completed StoryMap on the site to provide additional publicity
