Aequinox is an environmental consulting firm based in Bend, Oregon, led by Karen Allen. Its name refers to the equinox, when day and night are equal in length, and reflects the firm’s interest in restoring balance between natural and human systems. Aequinox works collaboratively to protect and restore ecosystems and to inspire designs shaped by patterns in nature.

The consultancy focuses on four connected areas: habitat restoration, biomimicry, wetland science, and conservation planning. Its habitat restoration work supports efforts to renew ecosystems, while biomimicry draws on nature’s patterns to inform design. Wetland science and conservation planning complement these services, helping guide projects focused on ecological systems and their protection. Aequinox presents collaboration as central to its approach, bringing people together to develop solutions that better align human activity with nature.

Through its services and projects, the firm aims to support ecosystem restoration and encourage thoughtful, nature-inspired design. Its website provides information about its work and offers a way to get in touch about potential collaborations.
