Odonaterra was founded in 2017 by Caroline Coburn and Katherine Card in response to what they saw as ineffective community and Indigenous participation in impact assessment processes. Odonaterra works with clients to address this challenge by contributing to and enabling community and Indigenous-led projects.

Odonaterra strives to advance reconciliation by building strong relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments, industry, and communities to enable shared decision-making in environmental management and land planning processes, rooted in Indigenous knowledge and western science. Odonaterra’s work is grounded by an imperative to achieve reconciliation with Canada’s Indigenous peoples and our shared desire for empowered, sustainable, and healthy communities.
