SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster: Water Harvesting in Urban Environments at Tijuana Innovadora 2016\, November 10\, 2016 — Tijuana BC México
DESCRIPTION:Tijuana Innovadora 2016: November 3–10\, 2016\nClick to visit event website where you can view the full conference program and more\nBrad’s presentation date: November 10\, 2016\nTime: 11 am–noon\nVenue: World Trade Center\, Sala Veracruz\nAddress: Paseo del Parque #18025\, Zona Río Tercera Etapa\, Tijuana\, Baja California\, CP 22654\nWater Harvesting & Native Plants in Urban Environments\nOverpaved\, drain-like urban environments eject precious local resources such as rainwater\, creating the ‘need’ to import water from afar. This creates liabilities such as flooding\, water shortages\, pollution\, and hotter temperatures paired with higher energy consumption. But we can create sponge-like urban environments that harvest resources such as rainwater\, stormwater\, greywater\, and condensate as close to their sources as possible. In so doing\, we turn would-be liabilities into assets such as street orchards that control flooding and produce native food; more resilient and more numerous water resources; living filters of soil\, water\, and air; and temperature-reducing\, energy-conserving and -producing oases for native plants and wildlife. Examples\, from small- to large-scale\, from ancient to contemporary\, from the Middle East and around the world\, will be presented.\nCost for Brad’s talk: MX$250\nVisit the Tijuana Innovadora website for more…

SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster & Craig Sponholtz: Free Public Talk: Integrated Local Harvests\, October 25\, 2016—Three Points (Tucson) AZ
DESCRIPTION:Integrated Local Harvests\nFree Public Talk (RSVP via link below) &\nOptional Dinner ($10 prepaid via link below)\nOctober 25\, 2016\n 5:30–8pm\nVenue: Robles Elementary School\nAddress: 9875 South Sasabe Road\, Tucson\, AZ 85736\nPresenters: Brad Lancaster & Craig Sponholtz\nThe Altar Valley Conservation Alliance is hosting a free lecture by Brad Lancaster and Craig Sponholtz. Dinner ($10 prepaid) is also available prior to the talk–if you would like to join folks for this meal\, please be sure to pay in advance via the link below.\nIntegrated Local Harvests: Simple and Effective Ways to Enhance the Natural Abundance of Your Home\, Community\, and the Larger World\nThis dynamic presentation shares patterns and strategies to harvest\, integrate\, and enliven free local resources such as rain-\, grey-\, and stormwaters\, plus soil fertility\, in a way that reduces erosion and maintenance\, while freely growing more vegetation\, fodder for livestock\, and food for us. 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.\nYou’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 such structures are enhancing parts of the Altar Valley; how dirt roads are being reworked to stay dry and freely irrigate adjoining pasture\, 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.\nThis talk is both an invitation for you to engage and partner with your natural surroundings and community\, and a map showing you the way—by planting the rain\, growing fertility\, and more—to live as one of your community’s inspirational sparks!\nRSVP for Integrated Local Harvests: Click to RSVP.\nIf you would like to ADD DINNER\, $10 MUST BE PREPAID at this site\, and you will receive a printed ticket.\nQuestions? Please e-mail kyle@altavalleyconservation.org.\nDownload the flyer here.

SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster: Regenerative Rights-of-Way Public Talk\, November 19\, 2015 — Calgary AB
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, November 19\, 2015\nTime: 7:30–9:30 pm\nVenue: University of Calgary\, Craigie Hall C\, Room 119\nAddress: 2940 University Way NW\, Calgary\nHosted by: Eclipse Solar\, Leaf Ninjas\, and Pixie Gardens\, with special thanks to Landscape Alberta*\nTickets in advance via Eventbrite\nBrad’s talk title & description:\nRegenerative Rights-of-Way: Local Harvests and Enhancements in Our Community Commons\,\na.k.a.\, Urban Water and Abundance\nIn-street water-harvesting\, traffic-calming\, food- and wildlife-habitat-producing chicane\nIn 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.\nBut 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.\nThe 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.\nNumerous successful examples will be featured.\n*Thanks to Landscape Alberta for bringing Brad to Calgary for their 2015 Green Industry Show & Conference.

SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster: Landscape Alberta's Green Industry Show & Conference\, November 19–20\, 2015 — Calgary AB\, CANADA
DESCRIPTION:Landscape Alberta presents: \n2015 Green Industry Show & Conference\nVenue: BMO/Round-up Centre at Stampede Park\nAddress: 20 Roundup Way SW\, Calgary\nDates: November 19 & 20\, 2015\nConference website\nConference program\nRegistration page\nAttend one or both days.\nDiscounts for members and students.\nFrom the organizers:\nOur amazing team of staff and volunteers have put together a conference program aimed to inform and inspire everyone from designers to arborists\, owners to students\, growers to contractors. Our conference sessions are timely and responsive to industry issues—this event is not to be missed! Please join us this fall in Calgary to make new connections\, build your business\, and share in the success of our industry in Alberta and beyond.\nCopies of my book\, Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond\, Volume 1\, 2nd edition\, will be available after each session for sale & signing\nMy two contributions:\nThursday morning—Simple and Effective Ways to Enhance Your Home\, Community\, and the Larger World:\nThis 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.\nYou’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.\nThis 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!\nFriday morning: Water-Harvesting Earthworks and Rain Gardens:\nPlant 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.\n \n
