Willow Flow Communications Information

Willow Flow provides communications, interpretive, and education services for natural resources professionals. It specializes in coordinating outreach campaigns, telling compelling stories on complex projects or issues, and streamlining education programs to fit Minnesota policies and permits such as the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. What does “Willow Flow” mean? Willows come in many shapes and sizes and specialize in growing near water. But the true inspiration for Willow Flow Communications comes from how willows adapt and thrive in a turbulent and complex habitat. During a flood or high water, a streambank willow can uproot itself.

As rapid technological change and saturated information feeds become a norm, natural resource managers and especially communicators face the daunting challenge of juggling multiple platforms and campaigns while trying to sustain their precious creative spark. Willow Flow is one tool in the toolkit to help communicators keep up with the flow, adapt, and succeed. Follow along as this journey embarks!
