cultural heritage

At Mainspring, we believe these stories make conservation more vital than ever. It’s not just about protecting land – it’s about respecting the lives and histories tied to it and protecting the places that carry that history forward. 

Whether it’s helping to preserve a generational family farm, protecting a site that holds deep cultural meaning, or restoring a home once owned by an early settler, we are making sure these stories are remembered for future generations.

Watch these videos to see how we have restored native species to aid in Cherokee artisan basketweaving and have cleaned ancient burial sites for archaeological research.

Below are a few of the projects we’ve completed that hold significant cultural value.
