Verdant is Green and Growing! The Verdant Group is a Sales and Consulting company owned and operated by Chris van Daalen in Olympia Washington. We offer inspired project-based services to companies, organizations and educational institutions involved in the emerging "green" economy. We have a number of strategic affiliations which position us to create synergies and seize opportunities within our target industries: Construction, Manufacturing, and Natural Resources Management. Chris has 20 years experience in sustainable economic development and green job creation in southwest Washington and across the United States. As an entrepreneur, consultant and non-profit leader, he has been dedicated to the creation of a Green Economy long before there was such a thing. In the process, he has raised and leveraged more than $5 million in program and private investments, and helped create dozens of jobs in conservation, ecological restoration, sustainable forestry, wood products and green building.
