TNC Docents: Free Tour of TNC's Water-Harvesting Features — Tucson AZ
2016-07-16 08:00 - 09:00
The Nature Conservancy’s rainwater-harvesting project includes retrofitting the onsite buildings and the surrounding landscape to capture as much as possible of the approximately 11 inches of annual rainfall on the campus and adjacent areas. The retrofitting involves both active and passive rainwater-harvesting techniques. The Nature Conservancy and its partners see the grounds as a community asset where one can learn about sustainability and common-sense approaches to sustainable design and practices.

The one-hour tour is free to the public. Time is 8 am for all dates. Meet at the front entrance (NE corner) of the building at 1510 E Ft Lowell Road. Groups may schedule tours at times other than those regularly scheduled. For more information on any of these tours, please call 520 547-3437 or send an email to dboone@tnc.org.

Brad’s talk:
Celebrating and Leveraging What’s Possible with Place-Friendly Landscapes that Reconnect and Regenerate People, Communities, and Their Watersheds
This talk will be peppered with juicy examples from around the globe of people and landscapes striving to collaborate with the unique potentials and essence of their place and community in a way that lifts the health and potential of all. Though this presentation is more than a celebration; it is also a challenge. Since Bay-Friendly efforts have influenced policy and practices state-wide and beyond, and will continue to do so, we will envision how to further lift the power and potential of what is possible with place-regenerating principles and practices that simultaneously work in nested contexts such as home, neighborhood, watershed, and world.

Regenerative Rights-of-Way: Local Harvests and Enhancements in Our Community Commons,
a.k.a., Urban Water and Abundance
In-street water-harvesting, traffic-calming, food- and wildlife-habitat-producing chicane
In the urban environment, streetscapes are our public land, our commons. They are abundant—one-third of a typical city’s footprint is pavement for motor vehicles. These streetscapes are usually designed as drains, rapidly ridding a community of such perceived “problems” as rainwater, stormwater, organic matter, fertility, and obstructions to traffic flow. This design often leads to ever-increasing costs for importation of water, flood control, pollution control, heat-island abatement, climate-change mitigation, and health problems.
But a simple shift in perception and design can enable us to see and utilize rainwater, stormwater, organic matter, fertility, and even some obstructions to traffic flow as free, local resources, which can be passively harvested to enhance local water supplies, control flooding, filter pollutants, grow cool-islands, mitigate the effects of climate change, and improve health—while generating more resources and more life.
The key is to see and enhance the free abundance that we already have in a way that transforms more of our built systems into living systems that can regenerate themselves and our communities.
Numerous successful examples will be featured.

My two contributions:
Thursday morning—Simple and Effective Ways to Enhance Your Home, Community, and the Larger World:
This dynamic presentation shares patterns and strategies to harvest, integrate, and enliven free local resources—such as rain-, grey-, and stormwaters; sun, wind, and shade; along with soil fertility, wild foods, and community fun—in a way that generates far more potential than the sum of their parts. Scarcity is re-visioned into abundance simply through creative cycling and utilization of what is already at hand. Costly and consuming habits and infrastructure, disconnected from their surroundings, are reoriented and reconnected to maximize enriching opportunities.
You’ll see many examples of such transformation, including how once-dying wetlands and creek flows are being regenerated with simple hand-built structures made of on-site materials; how ancient sun- and shade-harvesting sites are informing passively heated, cooled, and powered modern homes and retrofits; and how once-blighted, overheated neighborhood streets are being rejuvenated into thriving greenbelts of water, people, wildlife, art, food, and celebration by planting once-drained stormwater, seed, and yard prunings.
This talk is both an invitation for you to engage and partner with your natural surroundings and community, and a treasure map showing you the way—by planting the rain, dancing with the sun, growing fertile shade, and more—to live as one of your community’s inspirational sparks!
Friday morning: Water-Harvesting Earthworks and Rain Gardens:
Plant the rain before you plant your trees to boost production, reduce flooding, conserve water, and create sustainable oases around your homes and community infrastructure. 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.

2015-04-04 09:30 - 12:00
THIS TOUR DIDN’T REACH THE MINIMUM REGISTRATIONS TO MAKE IT A GO—SORRY!
PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE NEXT TOUR AFTER COOLER WEATHER RETURNS.
Brad Lancaster, author of the award-winning, best-selling book series, Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, will lead this 2.5-hour tour of his home property (this is the only home property that will be on the tour) and sites within the public rights-of-ways of the Dunbar/Spring neighborhood.
A portion of the proceeds from the tour will help fund ongoing integrated water-harvesting, native food-tree planting, traffic-calming, and education efforts within the public realm of the neighborhood.
Some of the many features to be included in the tour:

Low-tech, low-cost, gravity-fed (no pumps) potable rainwater-harvesting system providing for household water needs (including drinking water)

Rainwater-harvesting tanks doubling as summer sun- and winter shade-harvesting systems, privacy/property fences, fire breaks, and more

Passive, gravity-fed greywater-harvesting systems that reuse all household drainwater for safe irrigation of food plants that also help passively shade/cool buildings in summer while retaining the sun’s heat and light gain in winter.

Flood-controlling, heat-island abating, and carbon-sequestering public gardens and orchards irrigated ONLY with on-site rainwater

A tiny-house one-car-garage-to-cottage conversion resulting in a passively heated and cooled garottage

Numerous strategies on how to maximize the harvest of winter sun AND summer shade in a way that reduces your water consumption, carbon emissions, and costs—these strategies work in ALL seasons, rather than working in only one season at the expense of others

Sculpture that celebrates the seasonally changing path of the sun and the design of homes and gardens that make the most of the winter sun and summer shade

Solar cooking, power, hot water, heating, lighting, and clothes drying

Low-tech, low-cost, legal site-built compost toilet

Self-regenerating living mulch machines that naturally bioremediate pollutants from street runoff

Novel urban-wildlife habitat such as pollinator fences and shade screens

Neighborhood-history sign project

Neighborhood-scale water harvesting, native food-tree planting, traffic calming, and art—all celebrating and enhancing the story and potential of Place

For visual previews of some of these features: Click to enlarge the images below, check out these sun- and shade-harvesting and water-harvesting & cistern set-up videos, &/or read this enhanced stormwater-harvesting blog post.

Also available for sale at the tour will be signed copies of Brad’s books (including the newly revised and expanded second edition of Volume 1), as well as Rainwater Harvesting and Desert Harvesters t-shirts.
