Shepherd's Spring aims to showcase the past by restoring and conserving historic natural beauty, while leading minds to nurture the future through intentional action.

Water Conservation/River Protection Initiative

Shepherd\'s Spring commits to maintaining low-flow showers, sinks, and toilets. We will upgrade all urinals to low-flow systems as well. We commit to maintaining a low percentage of impervious surface on the grounds, as well as continued commitment to our standard conservation easement which limits construction and timber-felling, while requiring cultivation of native species and removal of invasive species.
