As we develop and manage our property, we are guided by the following principles:

Native First - we prioritize native over introduced.
Balance in All Things - we strive for diversity of flora and fauna and to live productively alongside it.
Appropriate Tools for the Job - whether that's hand weeding, or triclopyr, we seek advice and solutions.
Share What we Learn - find/create community, seek opportunities to engage children of all ages.
Enjoy the Journey - living in nature is a privilege.
