Mission
We promote and improve scientific understanding and stewardship of springs ecosystems and the riparian systems they support. We pursue this mission through research, sharing information, stewardship, and collaboration. We work closely with individuals and organizations with similar goals to plan and conduct springs research and disseminate the results. We provide information, trainings, advisement, tools, and expertise, both directly and electronically, to interested springs stewards. With the goal of reaching a broad and inclusive audience, we conduct outreach and education by publishing our findings and providing lectures and other presentations. We provide advisement and assistance to agencies conducting restoration or other management activities that promote the ecological care of springs. These strategies are designed to advance sustainable ecological stewardship of springs ecosystems for the benefit of nature and humanity.
