Preserving our natural resources.
In a country of 330 million people, it’s not surprising that there are demands on our natural resources. We must create solutions to balance the needs of people and nature, and we do that by bringing creative and responsible approaches to infrastructure, development, and climate resilience.
Here’s how Principled Preservation is helping to create a sustainable system.
When it comes to in-stream work, we use state of the art bed manipulation techniques and only the most highly skilled excavator operators to restore your river or stream. These techniques mimic a healthy river channel using boulders, cobbles, in-stream woody debris and fine materials to narrow flows, deepen pools, create insect producing riffles and runs as well as juvenile fish and spawning habitat while reconnecting rivers and streams to their floodplains whenever possible. Our techniques for in-stream restoration improves sediment transportation and increases aquatic habitat for the benefit of all aquatic species.
Development and infrastructure can have a wide variety of environmental impacts. The best way to avoid these impacts is to first identify and understand what environmental resources and issues exist in a proposed project area. The mitigation activities identified in the plan focuses on replacing similar resources as close to the impact site as feasible. This approach generally focuses on meeting regulatory requirements while serving the highest ecological needs in a given area. To help address this, we work proactively in developing and implementing an ecosystem approach for mitigating the effects of these projects.
We have also begun selling products that lower the impacts of global warming, and are expanding into other services that help preserve our air, water and soil. Obviously, this is a complex and intricate situation for our world and there is constant advancement. Right now, we are the holders of a new NASA patent for harvesting Nitrogen (N) from community wastewater treatment plants that is 100 times more effective than current technology AND has the benefit of reusing the N as plant food. Thus, our teaming with NASA would potentially directly contribute to the never ending cycle of life.

Our Approach Sets Us Apart
What sets Principled Preservation apart is our approach to working with people and mother nature. We believe you can’t impose your will on nature, you have to work with it. Unlike other waterway restoration projects that tear out trees and dig drainage ditches, we keep a natural landscape and don’t ruin or dispose of vital topsoil. We are careful where others are careless. That’s why Principled Preservation is a leader in regards to maintaining a harmonious relationship with the land.
