Strategic Communications for the Climate Economy
Hi, I'm Alice Rogers. I help climate economy and natural resources companies - forestry, clean energy, materials innovation, conservation and more - translate complex sustainability work into clear, credible stakeholder communications.Whether you need sustainability reports, thought leadership content, or strategic messaging, I bring 17 years of environmental communications expertise - including 6+ years with Weyerhaeuser - to help you build trust without greenwashing or jargon.
Why Even Strong Climate Companies Struggle to Communicate Clearly
Companies doing real sustainability work still struggle to communicate their impact because their messaging is too technical, too vague, or buried in jargon.When your communications aren't clear, everything suffers:- Sustainability reports feel performative instead of credible
- Stakeholders can't understand your actual impact
- Innovation stories get lost in complexityYou lose opportunities to investors and partners with clearer positioning - even if your work is stronger.
Why Climate Economy Companies Work With Me
Most climate economy and natural resources companies face the same challenge: their sustainability work is technically sophisticated, but stakeholders need to understand impact quickly. When communications don't land clearly, opportunities stall, reports fall flat, and credibility suffers.I've spent 17 years helping environmental organizations bridge this gap.My approach works because I bring:Environmental Science Expertise
B.S. in Environmental Studies with a focus on Indigenous-led environmental management, natural resources, and fisheries management. I understand the science behind sustainability - which means I can translate complexity without losing accuracy or credibility.Proven Industry Experience
6+ years creating communications and instructional content for Weyerhaeuser. 9 years as writer/editor for the NeLMA blog. Deep expertise across forestry, natural resources, clean energy, and materials innovation.Technical Communication Mastery
I specialize in explaining complex environmental and scientific concepts in language that resonates with stakeholders - whether that's investors, regulators, community members, or industry partners.Indigenous Perspectives & Cultural Competency
I bring understanding of Indigenous consultation processes, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and how to communicate respectfully about Indigenous partnerships - increasingly critical for natural resources and conservation work.Strategic Content Systems
Clear messaging only matters if it reaches the right audiences. I create integrated communications - sustainability reports, thought leadership, stakeholder content, strategic positioning - that build trust and demonstrate real impact.This combination helps climate economy and natural resources organizations communicate their work clearly, credibly, and in alignment with genuine sustainability values, not greenwashing or hype.

About Me
I'm Alice Rogers, a strategic communications consultant for climate economy and natural resources companies.I have a B.S. in Environmental Studies (with a focus on Indigenous-led environmental management, natural resources and fisheries management) and 17 years of experience as a writer, editor, and communications strategist specializing in sustainability, forestry, and climate innovation.My work sits at the intersection of environmental science, technical communication, and stakeholder engagement. I help climate economy organizations - whether forestry, clean energy, materials innovation, or conservation - translate complex sustainability work into clear, credible communications that build trust with diverse stakeholders.I've spent 6+ years creating communications and instructional content for Weyerhaeuser, and 9 years as writer/editor for the NeLMA Eastern White Pine blog. I've also worked across sustainable forestry, natural resources, clean energy, regenerative agriculture, conservation, and ESG communications.I bridge the gap between technical complexity and stakeholder understanding - combining environmental science literacy with clear, strategic storytelling that never resorts to greenwashing or oversimplification.I also bring understanding of Indigenous perspectives in natural resources, including consultation processes, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and how to communicate respectfully about Indigenous partnerships.This is increasingly critical work, and I approach it with cultural humility, always platforming Indigenous voices rather than speaking for them.
