Our Early Adopters

If you sign up now as a “Besider” – you will appear here in our “Early Adopters” page…

This space celebrates those who were with us from the very beginning of I Stand Beside; those who believed and believe in the idea as it finds its footing.

They have chosen a species or natural entity (a river, a loch) to stand with and expressed that connection in ways that felt meaningful to them, whether through stories, songs, research, poems, artwork, photography, and other expressions of celebration and advocacy. Inlcuding simply making a silent shared commitment.

To our Early Adopters: thank you. You are helping shape I Stand Beside into what it’s becoming. You are helping us show that standing beside something isn’t just about awareness. It’s about imagination, care, curiosity, and discovering new ways to connect.
