Bear Springs Blossom nature conservation wants to keep Earth beautiful, protects nature - we take action on air pollution, water contamination and provide solutions to climate change - global warming - our main office is in the Texas Hill Country where erosion control and water scarcity is the main environmental problem
join our nature conservation group to get information how to prepare for the coming changes and challenges -you will protect our earth, the only planet we have to live on, you will protect the future of our children and grandchildren - you will show responsibility as a human being - you will get environmental news, science reports, nature education and a nature conservation newsletter

A Master Conservationist understands what happens, he knows how to change climate change, how nature works - he/she takes responsibility, he/she uses his/her brain to solve problems like climate change, air pollution, water contamination, water conservation, soil erosion, conservation of Nature and gives others the help and advice they need

International Nature education is part of our worldwide education program which tries to give humans the understanding what happens on our Earth, how nature works, how to take action and solve global problems like climate change, air pollution, water contamination and soil erosion. A good international Nature education helps you to understand nature, gives you the knowledge to be prepared for the coming changes and challenges and helps you to live in harmony with Nature

when you start to think, half of the work is done - Have the courage to use your brain. Immanuel Kant said: Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage,with Sapere Aude being charged to those who would follow this program of individual liberty and knowledge. The Age of Enlightenment is also known as the Age of Reason. When you look at the American Declaration of Independence, the United States Bill of Rights and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, you will see the ideas and hopes of this new / old philosophy of Enlightenment, a worldwide education idea, that humans all over the world should have a solid nature education. A Master Conservationist understands, he she uses his her brain to solve problems like world climate change, world wide air pollution, water contamination soil erosion

Video clips on nature conservation, on solar water heating, how to use native plants, how to make mulch and the best ways to use mulching, a welcome lecture on geology in the Texas Hill Country

Lectures / presentations are part of our nature conservation education programs, Marianne and Peter Bonenberger use power point presentations with many photos and video clips to explain why we all should live in harmony with nature, why oceans need our protection, how to save our rainforests, what we can learn from history and how science can help to secure safe air and water for the next generation - with distant learning, online education and a master conservationist certificate you can become an expert on Nature conservation who is able to handle the coming changes and challenges and help your family to deal with

volunteers are the life blood of our international charitable non profit organization - we are all volunteers and donate our time to help with articles, and public relations, with the maintenance of our websites, which teaching and providing international nature education for people in many different countries - volunteering for our group does not have boundaries or physical requirements

Bear Springs Blossom takes action on Climate change, because a violent climate is endangering our lives, endangers our food supply, our drinking water, the air we breath, the way we travel. We provide different solution to all these problems, give advice on the way we develop, the way we live, on how to change climate change and reduce global temperatures. Global warming and climate change really endangers the future of our children and grandchildren, endangers our earth as we know it

Global statistics, Earth statistic, World statistic, world clock, about Climate change, food supply, drinking water, air pollution, illnesses, CO2 in tons will help you to understand what happens, we give you understanding of the coming world changes

global warming and climate change are caused by burning fossil fuels, caused by pollution - it took millions of years to produce fossil fuels, but humans decided to burn them in a few centuries, causing air pollution, violent weather with hurricanes, world wide floods, tsunamis, human illnesses as asthma, heart disease, respiratory sickness, cancer, Parkinson, Alzheimer

fight global pollution with international nature conservation, water river ocean protection, with efficient home appliances, less energy waste, less water waste, with recycling and green driving, better home insulation, renewable energy, and the use of solar energy

CO2 levels were never higher - CO2 is a greenhouse gas - an aerosol that works as an insulator in Earth's atmosphere trapping heat, causing warmer oceans, warmer temperatures, more hurricanes, violent weather - we have to fight pollution with nature conservation, we have to protect lake water rivers and oceans

Bear Springs Blossom takes action on global dimming. Global dimming reduces the heating up of planet earth, but it is caused by the same factors that cause global warming and climate change: burning fossil fuels. Air pollution with visual particles is reducing the greenhouse effect, because the sun cannot shine through all the smog. But all these pollutants and aerosols are causing human illnesses as asthma, heart disease, respiratory sickness, cancer, Parkinson, Alzheimer globally. We have to take global action to come to solutions

Sustainability is the capacity of maintaining a certain process or state. It is now most frequently used in connection with biological and human systems. In an ecological context, sustainability can be defined as the ability of an ecosystem to maintain ecological processes, functions, biodiversity and productivity into the future. Sustainability can be applied to almost every facet of life on Earth, the different levels of biological organization, wetlands, prairies and forests and is expressed in human organization concepts, international eco-villages, eco-municipalities, sustainable cities, and human activities and disciplines, sustainable agriculture, sustainable architecture and renewable energy.

the newsletter of bear springs blossom nature conservation provides bi monthly information on nature conservation issues, tips and advice, the latest news and the invitation to our member meetings is produced with articles from our members and news we get from many universities all over the world - send out by mail or electronically to save trees, printed and produced in our main office in the Texas Hill Country

how to use wind power, a residential windmill or wind turbine wind energy is part of our international renewable energy program, we show and explain how wind energy works why many people can use it and lower their monthly electricity bill


we protect international rainforests because earth and humans need rain forests for medicine and for oxygen and for stabilizing Earth's climate - tropical trees help us to reduce international climate change and global warming

we work hard to protect our oceans, our whales and dolphins from overfishing to over-polluting our seas. Oceans stabilize our climate, whales balance the life in our oceans and help us to reduce climate change and global warming internationally

knowledge about mosquitoes is very helpful in understanding how a mosquito bites and why, how malaria is spread and what we can do to prevent this disease - how we can balance nature again to prevent illnesses and protect humans - better information leads to better behavior, can lead to stabilizing our world climate, and help us to reduce climate change and violent weather on earth

Art inspires our minds, art can help us to understand our environmental problems, art shows us the beauty of nature, art can help to understand nature conservation and how important it is to live in harmony with nature


Overgrazing destroys our land, endangers the future of our children, overgrazed meadows reduce our drinking water supply, multiply water contamination, overgrazing causes erosion and destroys the native plants that feed our wildlife

keep Bandera beautiful is a slogan we use to protect nature in Bandera county texas - the beautiful tx hill country attracts more and more home buyers, more houses, more wells and roads endangered the balance of this fragile lime stone habitat

Bear Springs Blossom Nature Conservation and Nature Preserve is located in Bandera County in the Texas hill Country. See photos and get information how to recognize native plants, native trees as Spanish oaks, Escarpment cherry, lacey oak, texas persimmons, mountain laurel and many different native grasses, as little bluestem, bushy bluestem, indian grass, lindheimers muhly and learn how to use erosion control to get a beautiful landscape where flora and fauna will flourish

Madrones or Madronas are rare trees in the Texas Hill Country. Some call it Indians leg, others the peeling tree because the Madrone cannot grow bigger without growing a new bark every year. Our nature preserve has over 300 madrones showing how nature conservation works and how important it is to live in harmony with nature to prevent global warming and climate change

The Golden cheeked Warbler is an endangered bird breeding only in the Texas Hill Country - no other place on earth. It needs mature junipers - our nature preserve provides habitat for 6 pairs of the Golden cheeked Warbler who peels little stripes from the bark of the mature juniper to built its nest, showing how important nature conservation is and how important it is to live in harmony with nature to protect globally endangered species through international nature education

Junipers or juniper ashei or juniper virginiana are trees or shrubs found in many countries on Earth. It prefers growing on limestone, caliche and its wood and leaves have a ph below 6 - Our nature preserve has thousands of junipers. Why do we need junipers, why does the Texas Hill Country and Pipe Creek, Bandera County, have so many of them. Junipers are native plants and are very old. On our Nature Preserve we have juniperus ashei older than 200 years. We mulch the overgrowth, but protect the mature junipers, because many birds, native animals and plants need the Texas Cedar, not a cedar at all... to live in harmony with nature, to prevent erosion and to help new native plants to grow is very important for humans
