Nature Based Creations was founded by Charlie Alcorn at the start of 2025. It serves communities in the arid southwest of the USA and abroad. Charlie grew up in South Central Pennsylvania, spending many summers outside exploring the wildlife and countless adventures a child can find in the outdoors. He has clear memories of splashing in creeks, building structures with rocks to change how water flows through the small channels. His passion for the environment and people blossomed during his years at Dickinson College where he graduated with a BS in Physics and many affirming experiences that he would dedicate his life to supporting communities and the environment.Â
Charlie moved to Tucson in 2016 and has spent years growing a deeper sense of awe for the Sonoran Desert and a rich appreciation for the people and ecosystems that inhabit arid climates. He has worked in the native landscaping and water harvesting world for over 5 years. He has been part of a diverse collection of projects as a consultant, designer, installer, and educator.
Along with his years of expereince he has developed a close network with other professionals that are able to expand the services offered to your project. Whether you work with Charlie directly or other expereineced professionals in this network, it will be a benefit to your and the health of our community and ecosystem. Check them out below!
