Founded in 2018, the Resiliency Planning Collaborative seeks to bridge the divide between academic research and professional practice by cultivating meaningful connections, advancing resilient community development, and ensuring the long-term protection of natural resources.
We believe that resiliency is not just about responding to crises—it’s about proactively shaping landscapes, institutions, and communities to thrive in the face of change.
MISSION
We empower communities to plan for uncertainty, adapt to challenges, and thrive in the face of environmental, social, and economic shifts. By combining local knowledge with expertise, we co-create strategies that protect people, places, and livelihoods.

MICHAL ZAHORIK, Ph.D.
Founder
As a PhD student in the Natural Resources and Environmental Studies at the University of New Hampshire, Michal began collaborating with scholars and practitioners on issues of land conservation, hazard mitigation, climate adaptation, and community planning in New England. What started as research partnerships gradually grew into the Resiliency Planning Collaborative—a space where academic insight and practical action come together to help communities prepare for change and build lasting resilience.
