Testimonials

Dennis Becker, Ph.D.

Dean, College of Natural Resources, University of Idaho

For nearly fifteen years I’ve trusted Dovetail Partners to give me reliable information to inform my research. They provide timely analysis and have the experience and integrity to know how to use it.

Robert Malmsheimer

Professor of Forest Policy and Law, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry

Dovetail provides in depth analyses of topics with important practical implications. I’ve cited their reports in numerous presentations and publications.

Sonya Zeitler Fletcher

VP, Market Development, Forestry Innovation Investment Ltd.

Dovetail provided our diverse group of stakeholders with comprehensive information from a perspective of material neutrality and fact. Their expertise and professional commitment to leveraging science and common sense have forest industry better understand and communicate the environmental impact considerations associated with trees, forests and all the good things that come from them.

Michelle Kam-Biron

Boise Cascade – Mass Timber Commercial Solutions

Over the course of more than 10 years in my previous role with WoodWorks, American Wood Council and President of SEAOSC, I’ve worked with Dovetail on various projects and have attended many of their presentations. Their breadth and depth of knowledge and passion about forestry, forest certification, responsible land management, environmental LCA, sustainability etc. is not matched by many nor is the integrity that they bring to any project they take on. Additionally, they are also very skilled at providing presentations that are impactful and engaging to the audience. Lastly, they are able to efficiently facilitate high level strategic planning meetings that allow groups to explore options in a constructive, comfortable environment where everyone has a voice and culminating with a plan that helps guide future actions.

David Mahood

Author, One Green Deed Spawns Another

Dovetail Partners produces scholarly, well-conceived articles and documents that I have relied on for my research and professional services. As an arbiter of key environmental issues, Dovetail Partners has been a voice of authority and reason.

Lindsay Murphy

Vice President, American Forest & Paper Association

Dovetail Partners is a trusted source for environmental information to help stakeholders understand the benefits of forests – and paper and wood products – in storing carbon, the role of markets in assuring forests are replanted, and the trade-offs inherent in public policy. Dovetail Partners can be counted on for science and fact-based data.

Lisa Podesto, PE

Design Build Americas, Lendlease

For over ten years, I have relied on the resources and expertise at Dovetail Partners. Their range of capability and flexible service model have proven to be a useful tool for me through my tenure with multiple organizations. I thoroughly enjoy working with their staff and always end up with a new perspective when I read any of their publications or hear one of their presentations. Dovetail is just uniquely fantastic!

Tom Roach

Assistant Zone Fire Management Officer

Collaborating with Dovetail partners has greatly enhanced the Superior National Forests’ ability to reach into our local communities to educate and facilitate fuels management on adjacent private lands. In working toward achieving fire resilient communities, Dovetail is another “tool in the toolbox” we did not have before developing this working relationship.
