In his inspiring PowerPoint presentation\, Lancaster shares eight universal principles of water harvesting along with simple strategies that turn water scarcity into water abundance. These principles empower you to create integrated water-sustainable landscape plans at home and throughout your community. You’ll be inspired—and empowered— to start harvesting this precious resource for your own garden.\nRainwater 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.\nThe presentation starts at 7 p.m. (doors open 6 p.m.) at the Surfside Race Place\, Del Mar Fairgrounds at 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd in Del Mar. Parking is free and everyone is welcome.\nTickets for this exciting Special Evening are $15/SDHS members\, $25/non-members. Come anytime after 6 p.m. to shop for plants and garden-related products\, and to purchase the speaker’s two books.

(Paid registration includes an Erosion Control Flip Card Set\, a\n$14.00 value.)\nFor more information\, or to register: quiviracoalition.org/Land___Water/Restoration_Workshops/\nLocated southwest of Socorro\, NM\, nestled among the foothills of the San Mateo Mountains\, the Red Canyon Reserve is a jewel waiting to be polished. Hard against the boundary of the Cibola National Forest\, this 320-acre\nproperty was bequeathed to The Quivira Coalition by the estate of Michael Belshaw and is devoted to activities directed toward the preservation of the land and wildlife. The majestic and rugged Red Canyon bisects the property as it runs down from the western mountains and opens up onto the Rio Grande Basin to the east. Mule deer\, antelope\, mountain lion\, javelina\, and many species of birds have been observed on the property.\nDuring the 2009 RCR workshop\, 32 volunteer participants and restoration contractors Steve Carson\, Craig Sponholtz\, and Steve Vrooman built 14 structures using 55 tons of rock! Some volunteers came from as far as North Carolina and Los Angeles. Participants also toured the Reserve with Rangeland Specialist\, Kirk Gadzia. Many thanks to all who donated their time and services. The Quivira Coalition would like to invite you to attend our 2010 Ecological Restoration Workshop at Red Canyon Reserve. The workshop will build on previous treatments and offer you a chance to work directly with leading ecological restoration specialists as they try out innovative techniques in erosion control\, stream-grade and stream-bank stabilization. On Friday at 1:00 pm\, join us for a land health walk-about with Kirk Gadzia\, Craig Sponholtz and Steve Carson\, reviewing 2009 structure performance\, and the reserve’s restoration history. On Saturday\, May 1st\, we will build a variety of rock structures to control headcut and sheet erosion. Craig will demonstrate how to create a machine-built Zuni Bowl. We will wrap up any unfinished projects Sunday morning.\nThe Reserve has running water\, HOT SHOWERS\, and a beautiful outhouse\, but no housing facilities\, so come prepared to camp. You may register online at www.quiviracoalition.org or by contacting Michael at 505-820-2544 ext. 6# or by email to: mbain@quiviracoalition.org. Registration is limited to 30 participants on a first come\, first serve basis—so register today! Payment due at the Reserve\, cash or check only. All registrants will receive information with workshop details and directions to the Reserve.

Raingardens and other small-scale earthworks quickly infiltrate rainfall into the soil where less is lost to evaporation\, while reducing erosion. Living ‘pumps’ of vegetation then enable us the access that water. Come learn simple principles and tips to leverage greater success as you implement these simple and effective passive systems. This presentation builds on Brad’s basic water-harvesting talk\, while offering more specifics and case studies. Working examples and case studies will be highlighted.

Raingardens and other small-scale earthworks quickly infiltrate rainfall into the soil where less is lost to evaporation\, while reducing erosion. Living ‘pumps’ of vegetation then enable us the access that water. Come learn simple principles and tips to leverage greater success as you implement these simple and effective passive systems. This presentation builds on Brad’s basic water-harvesting talk\, while offering more specifics and case studies. Working examples and case studies will be highlighted.
