Environmental Statements:
DBN recognizes that native Irish wild flora is a primary part of national and international Biodiversity.
Biodiversity and Native Irish Wild Flora is unique natural resource, requiring that DBN trades with the following overriding ethical business policy. (as presented and agreed with the O.P.W. in
1988 & the D.A.F. in 1992):
DBN Environmental Statement
No. 1
Guardians of our Flora:
That a native wildflower business CONSERVES AND
UTILISES its native sources of wild plant and seed stock. Our aim is to
promote conservation through the collection of native species. To put a
realistic economic value on species and to promote the use of native flora
in every situation where it can be used'.
In particular DBN - Irish Wildflowers aims to keep
pure the genotypes and genetic provinces of each species, so that where
native wildflower species are used for serious nature conservation
projects they are of native origin and derived locally.
DBN Environmental Statement
No. 2.
A race against time:
There is a race against time, the pressure of development
is destroying our natural environment.
Our aim is to assist in saving our fast disappearing last remaining native ecosystems, species and wildlife corridors.
The pressure is on, and changes in land use, need not push aside valuable native
species.
Instead we can use native flora and benefit from it, include it and work with nature.
Design By Nature seek to change the way Government, NGOs and the public view
wildflowers, we seek to give allocate to them there full economic,
environmental and cultural value, before the resource is destroyed.
DBN Environmental Statement
No. 3
Stewards of the landscape:
As stewards of the landscape, we are all locally and internationally responsible to use more native flora and create and maintain more native ecosystems, (natural or created).
This web site offers an excellent species choice and price range to help you realistically achieve the common aim of protecting nature.
There can be no more excuses - you have seen our meadows, met us at trade stands & public shows,
we are on the phone, web, net and fax all year. Any development can be enhanced by including native flora - it's up to you. Even
school children can grow wildflower successfully, why then are they going extinct,
why are they not on every place suitable, where they can be relevant.
Footnote:
Design by Nature, offers native origin conservation grade seeds since 1988 and now wish to expand our success to a much wider audience, hence this web site [wildflowers.ie and recent publications [Wildflower Growers Manual]. see also Foreign
