OUR PRINCIPLES
DIVERSITY
Biodiversity pertains to the complex interaction between all life forms. Within each ecosystem, there should be a great deal of both species and genetic diversity.
We believe diversification is key to reducing the risks associated with rapidly changing weather conditions and pest damage. Ecosystems with greater diversity withstand disturbances and recover faster. With the ongoing loss of biodiversity White Water Native Seeds hopes to make a small contribution to the continuation of greater diversity.
WHY DIVERSITY MATTERS
Plants play a key role in ecosystems. They are a source of food and medicinal compounds while also providing raw materials for many industries. Rapid deforestation and industrialization, however, threaten plant biodiversity. In turn, this threatens the ecosystem. Biodiversity of plants ensures a resource for new food crops and medicines. Plant life balances ecosystems, protects watersheds, mitigates erosion, moderates climate, and provides shelter for many animal species.
WHAT IS SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability means meeting the needs of our generation while not compromising the needs of future generations. We need to protect our native plants to continue the genetic diversity and prevent extinction.
WHY IT MATTERS
Sustainable practices, such as reducing pollution, protecting soil health, saving water ensures nature will survive for our grandchildren and future generations and they will have a higher quality of life and a land full of possibilities.
RESTORATION
Restoration of land with native plants is essential to aid our planet in ongoing challenges of global warming, pollution, deforestation and invasive species. In addition we all need to take a little time to restore ourselves and nature is the best place to revive our mind and body.
HOW TO RESTORE
Create a buffer zone
Plant a pollinator garden
Cut back on grass lawns, or eliminate entirely
Use organic pesticides
Remove invasive species
Watch the sunrise or set
Take a walk
Stroll thru a garden
Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature
