Our values

Ecology

Ecology is key to conservation and sustainability, helping us understand and protect the balance of natural systems. It guides efforts to preserve biodiversity, restore ecosystems, and reduce human impact. By applying ecological principles, we create sustainable solutions that support both nature and human well-being, ensuring a healthier planet for future generations.

Conservation

Conservation means preserving what’s still healthy and recovering what’s been damaged. We remove pollution, report hazards, and push back against environmental neglect. It also means investing in the next generation of stewards. By involving volunteers in hands-on projects, we help foster experience, confidence, and career paths in environmental fields and beyond. 

Sustainability

We focus on long-term impact. That means building systems that last, both environmentally and organizationally. We reuse materials, cut down waste, and structure our projects to support consistent action year-round. If it burns out in a month, it’s not sustainable and it’s not Castaway.
