SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster & Jamila Bargach: Innovations in Water-Harvesting: Case Studies from Morocco and the West Bank\, November 29\, 2010 - Tucson AZ
DESCRIPTION:The University of Arizona Center for Middle Eastern Studies and the American Institute for Maghrib Studies have brought together two scholars whose passions for understanding and advocating for sustainable subsistence strategies have transformed their communities\, and brought them international recognition for their efforts.\nJoin us Monday\, November 29\, at 4:30 pm in Marshall Bldg (845 N Park Ave) Room 490 to hear them speak about their recent endeavors in water harvesting. Reception to follow. The lectures are free and open to the public.\nThe Speakers:\nBrad Lancaster is a teacher and consultant of integrated regenerative systems\, as well as the author of two award-winning\, best-selling books on water harvesting\, “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond\, Volumes 1 and 2\,” the first volume of which is expected to be available in Arabic in early 2011. Brad was invited last year by the U.S. State Department to conduct lectures in honor of Earth Day in Saudi Arabia and Jordan\, and he recently returned from a trip to Syria\, Israel\, and the West Bank\, where he was invited to teach a 2-week permaculture design course at a community-based permaculture project in Marda\, West Bank. Several blog posts on Brad’s Middle Eastern travels can be found on his Drops in a Bucket blog on his\ninformation-rich website at www.HarvestingRainwater.com.\nJamila Bargach is currently on sabbatical in Santa Fe at the School for Advanced Research from her work as a director of the non-profit association Dar Si-Hmad in Ifni\, Morocco. The organization runs an ethnographic field-school (www.darsihmad.ma) and works with the local communities for the creation of sustainable subsistence projects. Dar Si-Hmad hosts a school\, library and museum of Saharan Tribal artifacts\, and provides education and resources for tribes in the region to learn about sustainable agriculture\, water harvesting\, and provides the community with schooling and small business opportunities. Dr. Bargach will speak about her recent research on Fog-Harvesting Water in Morocco.

SUMMARY:Bill Zeedyk: Erosion Control & Arroyo Restoration Hands-On Workshops\, November 16-17 & 18-19\, 2010 - Sonoita AZ
DESCRIPTION:Erosion Control and Arroyo Restoration Hands-On Workshop\nwith Bill Zeedyk\nNovember 16–17 or 18-19\, 2010\nHosted by the Ciénega Watershed Partnership\, with support from the Bureau of Land Management\nSoil and nutrient conservation and water retention are critical components of habitat quality and overall watershed health. These are top priorities for the Ciénega Watershed Partnership and its partners as we continue to care for the Ciénega Creek Watershed. Erosion and down-cutting annually carry acres of rich sediment from the valley’s uplands to Ciénega Creek and out of the ecosystem. Soils and habitat structure are compromised\, challenging native vegetation and the wildlife that depend on it\, while actually lowering water tables and draining the entire system.\nDecades of on-the-ground experience in watershed restoration have made Bill Zeedyk of Zeedyk Consulting well-known in the Southwest for his innovative philosophies and “low-cost\, low-tech\, low-risk” arroyo and riparian restoration strategies. Partnership members who support using these strategies include local landowners in Sonoita Valley\, Las Ciénegas National Conservation Area\, Pima County\, Sky Island Alliance\, the USDA/Agricultural Research Service\, and the University of Arizona’s Cooperative Extension and School of Natural Resources.\nParticipants in the Workshop will discuss how water moves across the landscape and how to work with those processes\, induced meandering as a means of reducing erosion and increasing water infiltration\, and road impacts on watersheds. On both days participants will visit existing restoration structures and receive training in the theory and practice of using various kinds of structures\, while we build more of them together in eroded areas.\nFormat for two day Arroyo Restoration Workshops:\nDay 1 – meet at Empire Ranch Headquarters – 1/2 day on Arroyo Restoration concepts and 1/2 day in field on Arroyo repair assessment including hands.\nDay 2 – full day in field on arroyo restoration including hands on construction\nCamping is available near the sites on LCNCA\, or lodging is available about an hour away in Tucson. Registrants will receive a detailed information packet.\n*Workshop size is limited to 25 participants each day\, but we will keep a waiting list!\nTo RSVP or ask any questions contact Trevor Hare at 520 624-7080 x14 or at trevor@skyislandalliance.org.

SUMMARY:Quivira Coalition’s 9th Annual Conference\, November 10-12\, 2010 - Albuquerque NM
DESCRIPTION:“The   Carbon Ranch: Using Food and Stewardship to Build Soil and Fight  Climate Change.”\nClimate  change is the most pressing issue  confronting humanity. It is also a  tremendous opportunity. Right now\, the only possibility of  large-scale  removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere is through plant   photosynthesis and other land-based carbon sequestration activities.  Strategies  include: enriching soil carbon\, farming with perennials\,  employing  climate-friendly livestock practices\, conserving natural  habitat\, restoring degraded  watersheds and range lands\, and producing  local food. Over the past decade\, many of  these strategies have been  demonstrated to be both practical and profitable. A carbon ranch bundles them into  an economic whole with the aim of creating  climate-friendly landscapes that  are both healthy ecologically and the  source of healthy food.\nConfirmed  Speakers: \n\nDr.  David Montgomery\, geologist and author of Dirt!: The Erosion of  Civilizations  \n\nSara  Scheer\, Ecoagriculture Partners\n\nDr.  Christine Jones\, Founder of the Australian      Soil Carbon  Accreditation Scheme\n\nDr.  Jeffrey Creque\, agroecologist with the  Marin      Carbon Project\n\nJohn  Wick\, rancher and leader of the Marin  Carbon      Project\n\nGreg  Judy\, rancher and ‘mob-grazing’ educator\n\nJeff  Moyer\, Farm Director for the Rodale      Institute\, on organic no-till\n\nConstance  Neely\, consultant for land\,  livelihoods      and climate change\n\nDr.  Bill Chameides\, Dean of the Nicholas School      of the Environment\,  Duke       University\n\nAbe  Collins\, New Soil Matrix\n\nBrock  Dolman\, Director of the Occidental Arts  &        Ecology Center\n\nNancy  Ranney\, rancher\, Ranney Grassfed Beef\n\nSteve  Apfelbaum\, Applied Ecological Services\n\n\nFor  general information on the conference\, visit:\nquiviracoalition.org/_2010_Conference/index.html\nTo download the conference announcement (3-page PDF)\, click here:\n Quivira 2010 Conference Announcement\nTo  register (or for registration details\, including cost):  \nquiviracoalition.org/_2010_Conference/Online_Registration/index.html\nTo contact the Quivira Coalition:\nThe Quivira Coalition\n1413 Second Street\, Suite 1\nSanta Fe\, NM 87505\n(505) 820-2544 ext 0#\nadmin@quiviracoalition.org\n \nThe  mission of The Quivira Coalition is “to build resilience by fostering  ecological\, economic and social health on western landscapes through  education\, innovation\, collaboration\, and progressive public and private  land stewardship.”

SUMMARY:Watershed Management Group: Free Green-Infrastructure Workshop - Tucson AZ
DESCRIPTION:Watershed Management Group (WMG) will be holding three Green Infrastructure Workshops this fall\,\neach free and open to the public. Green infrastructure refers to constructed features that use living\,\nnatural systems to provide environmental services\, such as capturing\, cleaning and infiltrating\nstormwater; creating wildlife habitat; shading and cooling streets and buildings; and calming traffic.\nParticipants in workshops will learn about these innovative alternatives to neighborhood design and\nhow to bring them to their own communities.\nGreen infrastructure approaches seek to address environmental and livability issues through strategies\nlike water harvesting\, removal or shading of impermeable surfaces\, urban forestry\, bicycle and\npedestrian improvements\, and the creation or enhancement of greenways\, parks\, and wildlife corridors.\nAccording to the US Environmental Protection Agency\, “forward-thinking communities in water\nlimited regions are increasingly recognizing green infrastructure as a cost-effective approach not only\nto stormwater management\, but to water conservation as well.” Green infrastructure provides a number\nof environmental\, economic and social benefits\, including beautification\, reduced flooding and\ninfrastructure maintenance costs\, and water quality and habitat improvement.\nAll workshops will include: an introduction to green infrastructure concepts\, a tour of local green\ninfrastructure sites\, and a hands-on visioning session in which participants develop strategies for\nimplementing green infrastructure in their own neighborhoods using a grassroots community\ndevelopment model. Identical workshops will be held at various Tucson locations on October 23\,\nNovember 20\, and December 4\, from 8:00 AM – 12:30 PM.\nWMG’s Green Streets – Green Neighborhoods program works with neighborhood groups to implement\ngreen infrastructure by mobilizing residents and volunteers to improve their communities. These\nworkshops are open to anyone with an interest in green infrastructure and its implementation at the\nneighborhood level. Participants from outside the region are encouraged to attend. The workshops\nwill also serve as an introduction to WMG’s new Neighborhood Leaders program\, available to Tucson\nresidents (more information on this program is available at watershedmg.org/node/194).\nTo register: contact Tory Syracuse at 520-396-3266 or tsyracuse@watershedmg.org. Workshops are\nlimited to 15 participants each\, and pre-registration is required. For more information on WMG and its\nprograms\, visit www.watershedmg.org.

SUMMARY:Watershed Management Group & Partners: Neighborhood Green-Infrastructure Open House\, October 21\, 2010 - Tucson AZ
DESCRIPTION:Watershed Management Group (WMG) a Tucson-based non-profit organization\, will be hosting a Green Infrastructure Showcase and Open House on Thursday\, October 21\, from 5:00 – 7:00 PM at Salpointe Catholic High School\, at 545 E Copper Street in Tucson (meet in cafeteria; outdoor tour at Copper and Cherry streets\, south side of school).  This event will showcase the cutting-edge green infrastructure for Southwest neighborhoods implemented at Salpointe High with the help of WMG\, Samos Neighborhood residents\, and the City of Tucson.  \nGreen infrastructure refers to practices that mimic or enhance natural processes to retain and use stormwater.  This approach seeks to address common stormwater management issues through strategies like water harvesting\, removal or shading of impermeable surfaces\, urban forestry\, bicycle and pedestrian improvements\, and the creation or enhancement of greenways\, parks\, and wildlife corridors.  According to the US Environmental Protection Agency\, “forward-thinking communities in water-limited regions are increasingly recognizing green infrastructure as a cost-effective approach not only to stormwater management\, but to water conservation as well.” Green infrastructure provides a number of environmental\, economic and social benefits\, including beautification\, reduced flooding and infrastructure maintenance costs\, and water quality and habitat improvement. \nThese techniques will be on display at the Green Infrastructure Showcase and Open House\, where activities will include an introduction to WMG’s Green Streets–Green Neighborhoods program\, an outdoor tour of Salpointe’s new green infrastructure\, and a Q&A session with a panel of local experts.  \nTo RSVP\, please contact Tory Syracuse at 396-3266 or tsyracuse@watershedmg.org.  For further information\, contact Tory or visit www.watershedmg.org/green-streets. \nWatershed Management Group is a non-profit organization based in Tucson that develops community-based solutions to ensure the long-term prosperity of people and health of the environment.  WMG provides people with the knowledge\, skills\, and resources for sustainable livelihoods.

SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster: Water Harvesting to Turn Drains Into Sponges and Water Scarcity Into Water Abundance\, Saturday\, August 7\, 2010 - Tucson AZ
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, August 7\nTime: 4:30 or 5 pm until 6 or 6:30 pm (summer-style)\nLocation: Café Passé\, 415 North 4th Avenue\, Tucson\nCost: Free\nNote: This talk is being given primarily for a group of students touring Tucson; while these students get priority seating\, any extra seats can be taken by anyone that shows up.\n\nDescription of talk:\nThis inspiring power point presentation shares eight universal principles of water harvesting along with simple strategies that turn water scarcity into water abundance. They empower you to create integrated water-sustainable landscape plans at home and throughout your community. Rainwater harvesting is the process of capturing rain and making the most of it as close as possible to where it falls. Greywater harvesting is the process of directing water from household sink\, bathtub\, shower\, and washing machine drains into the soils of the landscape where the water is naturally filtered and reused to generate more on-site resources. The two work hand in hand\, and can reduce our water consumption by 30 to 50%! You’ll see examples enhancing local food security\, passively cooling cities in summer\, reducing costs of living and energy consumption\, controlling erosion\, averting flooding\, reviving dead waterways\, minimizing water pollution\, building community\, creating celebration\, and more.
