About Natural Resource Insight
Foresters are specialists trained to manage forests to improve their health and productivity while meeting the multiple uses the owner desires across the landscape. Based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, we are ready to help you in making great decisions about your forestland.

Shawna Meyer has worked in natural resources and communications for over twenty five years.
She has served in multi-disciplinary ecological research, natural resource management, and leadership capacities to a variety of nonprofits, universities, and agencies on regional and statewide issues. These include award winning partnerships and public action campaigns.
Her passion is driven by the “A-ha!” moment when a person—young or not so young-- develops a connection with the land. That moment when eyes widen and someone suddenly sees the forest and the trees, develops their own bent to care for and conserve a piece of this earth we share, and becomes changed in the process.
