About Us

  • Two people kneel on a large black and yellow tarp in a sunny, grassy field surrounded by trees, with parked cars and rolling hills in the background.
  • A scenic landscape of rolling hills covered in trees with mountains in the background, layered in a haze of fog and mist. Snow-capped peaks are visible in the distance under a clear sky.
  • Mountain range at sunset with layered peaks, some snow, and a colorful sky with soft pastel hues.
  • A person in winter clothing stands outdoors on rocky terrain with snow, holding a pole with a wind turbine model, in a cold, mountainous landscape.
  • Snow-covered mountains in the background with a layer of fog at the base, and an airport control tower and buildings in the foreground.
  • Aerial view of ocean waves crashing onto a rocky shoreline with visible tide pools and dark cracks in the rocks.
