SUMMARY:Extended Deadline for Watershed Management Group's Artistic Cistern Design Contest Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Artistic Cistern Design Contest Deadline Extended to September 15\n\nJune 15\, 2009 – September 15\, 2009 \nWhat would the ideal rainwater cistern look like in your backyard? A dramatic sculpture? A complement to our desert flora? A sound instrument played by the rain? A good cistern design is sturdy\, lightfast\, mosquito-proof\, easy to maintain\, and cheap to build. But it doesn’t have to be boring!\nIn this friendly competition\, WMG asks participants to tap their artistic side and submit their best ideas for aesthetically pleasing rainwater cisterns. The winning vision will be announced in September and constructed by the group in the fall.\nFind out more details about the cistern design contest here.

SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster: Turning Drains into Sponges and Water Scarcity into Water Abundance - Liberty TN
DESCRIPTION:When: Thursday\, September 10\, 2009 at 5 pm\nWhere: Short Mountain Sanctuary\n247 Sanctuary Lane\, Liberty TN 37095\nCost: Free\, although donations are welcome and appreciated\nFor more information: Contact Sandor\, sandorkraut@wildfermentation.com\nCome out to Short Mountain Sanctuary and hear Brad Lancaster speak about the eight universal principles of water harvesting along with simple strategies that turn water scarcity into water abundance and 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.\nAbout Short Mountain Sanctuary: SMS is a collective providing queer safe space. We strive to live lightly on the land and to maintain an environment that is open\, free\, and stimulating to each person’s growth and creativity. We make decisions by consensus. Life here is simple and rustic. We drink springwater\, use an outhouse\, and heat with wood. What electricity we have we collect from the sun. The heart of the community is an antebellum log cabin that serves as kitchen\, dining\, library\, and common space. Residents live in a variety of homebuilt one- to five-person dwellings. We grow much of our food\, herbs\, and dazzling flowers. Goats supply us with milk and chickens with eggs. We publish _RFD: A Country Journal for Queer Folk Everywhere_ and host two faerie gatherings a year (May and October). Since SMS started in 1981 we have become a magnet for queers and the people who love us who wish to live rurally with a sense of community. Three new intentional communities have formed nearby: Ida\, Sun Valley\, and Pumpkin Hollow\, and a growing group of friends lives independently in the surrounding countryside. As an extended community we share resources\, party\, and help each other out. We are a sanctuary and welcome visitors anytime.

SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster & Eric Toensmeier: Module 3 of Tennessee Carbon Farming Intensive\, Sept 8-11\, 2009 - Ecovillage Training Center at the Farm\, Summertown TN
DESCRIPTION:Tennessee Carbon Farming Intensive\nBroadacre Permaculture & Holistic Management for\nCarbon Negative Agriculture  \n Exploring Soil\, Water\, Carbon\, Energy & the Economy\nthrough a 6-part holistic curriculum\n August 25 – September 16\, 2009\n Ecovillage Training Center at the Farm\nin Summertown\, TN\n  www.livingmandala.com/Living_Mandala/Carbon_Farming_09.html\n\n \nIncluding \n\nHolistic Management\, Advanced Permaculture Design\, Keyline Design & Implementation\, Soil Food Web\, Rainwater Harvesting\, Carbon-Farming\, Food Forest Gardening\, Energy\, Economy Relocalization\, and Much More. \nContext\n\nThe Tennessee Carbon Farming Course will be the first in a national campaign to spread this cutting edge curriculum throughout the United States. The Ecovillage Training Center at the Farm offers an amazing opportunity to experience permaculture in action; the Farm’s 1\,700 acres will undergo a massive keyline design and implementation during and after the course to help drought-proof the community and prepare for future growing. \nCourse Description\n\nTaught by the leading experts in sustainable agriculture and carbon sequestration\, this course will encompass all of the design elements needed to create a carbon sequestering agricultural system—returning carbon to the soil while increasing food production. This course will cover holistic landscape systems design\, project management\, and implementation.\n \nPurpose\n\nStudies have shown that permaculture-inspired soil building techniques lead to significant carbon sequestration\, while also increasing soil fertility and water retention. This course will provide participants with an opportunity to learn these techniques in order to create resilient\, drought proof\, soil-rich\, carbon-negative agricultural systems that produce organic food as well as additional income through the international carbon market.\n \nFormat\n\nThis course will be offered through six interrelated modules constituting the nation’s first holistic curriculum for carbon negative agriculture.  Participants can choose to attend the entire course or individual modules and/or combined selections based on their specific interests.\n \nModules\n\nModule 1 – 8/25-30: Holistic Management®: with Kirk Gadzia\nModule 2 – 9/1-6: Keyline Design Course: with Darren Doherty\nModule 3 – 9/8-11: Regenerative Earthworks & Food Forestry: with Brad Lancaster & Eric Toensmeier\nModule 4 – 9/13-16: Soil Food Web & Pathways to Relocalisation: with Dr. Elaine Ingham & Joel Salatin\nModule 5 – 9/14-15: Regenerative Food Forestry: with Eric Toensmeier\nFor more information\, visit:\nwww.livingmandala.com/Living_Mandala/Carbon_Farming_09.html

SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster: Water Harvesting Presentation - Salt Lake City\, Utah
DESCRIPTION:Turning Drains Into Sponges and Water Scarcity Into Water Abundance\nMonday June 15th\n12:00-1:30 PM\nUtah Society of Environmental Education:\nGreen Bag Professional Development Series\nSLC Downtown Library\n210 East 400 South\nSalt Lake City\, UT\nwww.usee.org (RSVP required)\n$5-$15 USEE members/nonmembers\, Donations welcome\nThis inspiring 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.\nBrad Lancaster is a dynamic teacher\, consultant\, and designer of regenerative systems. He is the author of the award-winning\, best-selling books Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond\, the information-packed website www.HarvestingRainwater.com\, and the Drops in a Bucket Blog. He lives his talk on an oasis-like eighth of an acre in downtown Tucson\, Arizona\, by harvesting over 100\,000 gallons of rainwater a year where just 12 inches per year falls from the sky.

SUMMARY:Applied Watershed Restoration for Drylands with Craig Sponholtz - northern New Mexico
DESCRIPTION:June 5-10\, 2009\nWind River Ranch\nnear Las Vegas\, New Mexico\nFive-day long practical land restoration training for practitioners\, landowners and anyone concerned about the health of degraded arid and semi-arid landscapes.\nThis is a hands-on course that will develop the student’s ability to read the movement of water in the landscape\, assess the symptoms and causes of watershed degradation and create appropriate solutions.  We start by learning and observing runoff patterns and processes common to most drylands.  Using nature as the model students then learn to utilize readily available materials such as rocks and wood to reduce erosion and harvest runoff.  These simple structures enhance water absorbing landforms and plant communities creating living sponges that heal erosion and ultimately re-wet the landscape.\nIn addition to building foundational knowledge\, we apply it by designing and constructing restoration structures as a part of ongoing restoration efforts at Wind River Ranch.  This is an intensive\, project- oriented class that is intellectually challenging and involves some physical labor. We learn and create as a team\, and encourage all students to participate in the hard work of on-the-ground restoration at their own ability level.  Every project involves a wide variety of tasks\, not all of which are physically strenuous.  Since the majority of class time is spent in the field visiting previously constructed projects and working on our own project\, students must be prepared to be outdoors rain or shine.  After all how could we miss observing a rainstorm in New Mexico!  We do of course take the necessary precautions to avoid extreme weather.\nOur goal is to send students home empowered to recognize and initiate the simple changes that can produce profound benefits for their home watersheds.\nTopics Include\nSITE ASSESEMENT: \n\nTracking sources and sinks of runoff and sediment\nMoisture storage in landforms and plants\nIdentifying and diagnosing ecological degradation\nPrioritizing restoration needs\nPROJECT DESIGN: \nPassive water harvesting\nErosion control for headcuts\, gullies\, and arroyos\nWetland restoration\nRe-vegetation\nPROJECT PLANNING \nIdentifying on-site resources\nChecking for project feasibility\nLabor and materials estimating\nLong term monitoring and maintenance\nPROJECT IMPLEMENTATION \nSite survey and layout\nTools\, materials and logistics\nBuilding for form and function\nMinimizing the construction footprint\nLOGISTICS:\nThe program is offered at a beautiful conservation ranch in New Mexico\, not far from Las Vegas\, NM. Classes will be held from 9:00 AM to 5:00PM with regular breaks throughout the day.  Breakfast\, lunch and dinner are prepared by the staff.  Students have plenty of time to relax\, converse and enjoy the beautiful setting of Wind River Ranch while carrying out meaningful watershed restoration work.  More detailed logistics on what to bring\, what to expect are HERE.\nDates: June 6-10\, or August 15-19 2009\nWorkshop Testimonials by Brad Lancaster (author of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond) and Larry Santoyo of Earthflow Designs – see left column\nWorkshop Fee: $665 if registered one month in advance\, or $700 thereafter\nLast Day to Enroll five days before the class start date.\nDeposits: Space is limited. A non-refundable deposit of $300 will hold your space for both classes.\nScholarships: Two and more attendants applying together receive 10% discount.\nCancellation refunds: We don’t issue program refunds unless the program is canceled by us. Please plan your attendance accordingly! \n Workshop fees include: all instruction\, all workshop materials\, lectures\, study materials\, three meals per day and camping/bunkhouse space. \nInstructors:\nCraig Sponholtz of Drylands Solutions.

SUMMARY:Water Harvesting Brown Bag Luncheon with Brad Lancaster and Katie Bolger in Tucson\, AZ
DESCRIPTION:The Tucson Association of REALTORS Green Task Force is proud to host a Brown Bag Luncheon Featuring Guest Speakers Brad Lancaster and Katie Bolger.  The Brown Bag Luncheon is a free event with 100 spaces available. Please remember to bring your lunch\, drinks and desserts will be provided.  This event is open to the public so please feel free to pass this invite onto a friend. \n \nTopic:              Graywater and Rainwater Harvesting \nDate:               May 7\, 2009\nTime:              12:00 – 1:30 pm\nLocation:        Tucson Association of REALTORS\n 2445 N. Tucson Blvd  (Tucson Blvd just North of Grant)\nRSVP:             teresa@tucsonrealtors.org\n \n \nBrad Lancaster\, National Speaker and Author of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond\, will explain a clear and simple process to assess and design your own water harvesting landscapes. Brad provides an accessible resource that explains what water harvesting is\, how to do it appropriately\, and how to modify it to the unique conditions of everyone’s own site. “I believe we all can become beneficial stewards of the land\, and partners in the ecosystem in which we live\, and I believe that by sustainably harvesting rainwater we can all begin to transform our households from consumers of resources to producers of resources. Drawing on my years of teaching\, consulting\, designing\, on-the-ground implementation\, and learning from others\, I offer listeners my clear and simple process to assess and design their own water harvesting landscapes.” –Brad Lancaster\n \nKatie Bolger\, Aide to Councilman Rodney Glassman\, Tucson is the first city in the nation to adopt a commercial rainwater harvesting ordinance.  Katie will explain the City of Tucson’s Graywater and Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Ordinance\, adopted in the fall of 2008.  The ordinance requires all new commercial development plans submitted after June 1\, 2010 to include a rainwater harvesting plan and water budget. These documents will detail how at least 50% of the site’s landscape water demand will be met using rainwater captured at the site. The ordinance also requiring all new single family residences built after June 1\, 2010 to have dual drainage plumbing installed for washing machines showers\, bathtubs and lavatory sinks. This dual plumbing system allows discharge of water either to the sewer or to a gray water distribution system\, which homeowners can choose to install.\n \nRSVP:             teresa@tucsonrealtors.org
