Support Conservation
If you want to support Streambred along with our mission to support Helene Relief and help regenerate ecosystems please shop our online store. Many of our items are made in U.S.A. and our goal is to source everything domestically over time. For the foreseeable future all Streambred company profits will be donated to the long term Helene relief effort.
In regards to conservation for your favorite waters, it all starts with finding out what watershed you call home? We all live in one and interact with many different watersheds. Here is an interactive map to click on any region and find out. All of us can help protect and regenerate our watersheds by practicing regenerative land management to support diverse native vegetation, limit erosion and siltation, and to transition away from synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and fungicides which cause incalculable harm throughout watersheds. Our content will share as much as possible to spread awareness, and here are some free resources to learn more about practicing regenerative land management, which embodies the core principles of regenerative agriculture.
Private property owners collectively hold the largest opportunity to make an impact by limiting the normalized widespread use of synthetic chemicals on lawns and farms all of which runoff throughout our watersheds and have untold consequences and long term negative effects. Synthetic fertilizers lead to extensive environmental harm, including algae blooms and excessive aquatic plant life which leaches dissolved oxygen from waterways creating a disaster for the entire aquatic food web. On top of that, the synthetic herbicides, pesticides and fungicides collectively are called biocides. Bio = life. Cide = a substance that kills. These chemicals severely interfere with food webs throughout ecosystems, harm critical pollinators, severely disrupt animal endocrine systems (hormones), destroy critical underground fungal networks which plants rely on to share nutrients, and the residual damage trickles infinitely onward. We can all avoid this by searching for organic landscapers in our areas, and by supporting local farmers through farmers markets or online ordering, and requesting produce or meats raised without harmful chemicals. We influence the supply of clean foods with what our collective dollars demand. Public opinion does matter, but only if it's expressed. The more we demand the more the farmers will supply.
