* Education - we post articles and reports on relevant subjects, such as what lands have been bought for preservation, what the county commissioners are doing about growth management, what a functional native plant community looks like, etc.

* Activation - encouraging people to become involved by providing tools for effective participation.

* Preservation and Restoration - preventing damage to ecosystems when possible and restoring them when necessary.

* Litigation - when all else fails, we use legal means to enforce laws to protect the environment.
