How can engineering with nature reduce risk, restore ecosystems, and deliver community value?
That’s the question at the heart of Stantec’s new Sparks story: Sparking Nature-Positive Outcomes.

As climate extremes, aging infrastructure, and biodiversity loss reshape the risks facing communities, nature-based solutions are becoming an increasingly important part of the answer. By combining ecological design, data, engineering, and place-based knowledge, Stantec helps clients develop solutions that are adaptable, scalable, and resilient.
The story highlights four key themes driving successful nature-based solutions:
- 1. How do we listen to the land?
- 2. How do we use data to guide better decisions?
- 3. How do we bring full-service delivery to nature-based solutions?
- 4. How do we protect ecosystems while supporting resilient communities?
Explore project examples from around the world, including ecosystem restoration, environmental DNA monitoring, climate resilience initiatives, and community-focused infrastructure solutions that demonstrate how Engineering with Nature is being put into practice.
As Stantec’s Global Nature-based Solutions Leader Dom Kempson puts it:
“Question everything. If we simply do things the way we’ve always done them, we won’t get better.”
