SUMMARY:WMG with Brad Lancaster: Water-Harvesting Certification Course\, October 30 – November 5\, 2017 — Tucson AZ
DESCRIPTION:Photo courtesy of watershedmg.org\n.\nWatershed Management Group’s Water Harvesting Design Certification Course provides professionals\, educators\, and community organizers with comprehensive instruction in water-harvesting systems design and construction.\nThrough a unique combination of hands-on and classroom instruction the course provides a thorough\, on-the-ground understanding of the core practices in this increasingly popular field.\nFall 2017 Course\nDates: October 30 – November 5\, 2017\nTimes: Classes generally run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.\nWhere: Various locations around Tucson\, Arizona\nEarly registration runs through September 5\, 2017\nTo register and/or FMI\, including meaning of certification\, program requirements\, cost\, and a slate of recent course instructors (some of whom\, e.g.\, Brad\, will be teaching parts of the Fall 2017 course)\, visit WMG’s certification-course webpage.\nCertification-course curriculum\nThe curriculum provides detailed instruction on water-harvesting systems\, planning\, design\, and installation for retrofitting urban areas. The course includes: \n\nIn-depth site assessment and system design\nHands-on training workshops to install water-harvesting systems at public\, residential\, or commercial sites\nReading and homework assignments to solidify knowledge gained in hands-on workshops\nFinal exam to earn certification\n\nThe Water Harvesting Design Certification course is designed and administered by WMG staff with assistance from professionals who teach and implement water-harvesting practices.\n \nCertification will teach you to: \n\nIntegrate water-harvesting systems with other design considerations (energy conservation\, aesthetic design\, food production\, wildlife habitat\, etc.)\nCalculate runoff potential of catchment areas and run soil-percolation tests\nCreate a water budget and match water-harvesting systems with appropriate landscaping\nSize\, design\, and build appropriate earthworks features for different applications (eg. infiltration basins\, berms\, swales)\nDesign greywater systems for laundry\, bathroom sink\, and bathroom shower water\nConstruct gravity-based greywater systems from laundry-machine wastewater to irrigate landscape\nDesign\, size\, and install plastic cisterns\nDesign water-harvesting systems to support small-scale food production (including earthworks design\, cistern design and application\, and soil improvements)\nDesign all of the above systems while incorporating safety and health considerations\n\nTo register and/or FMI\, including meaning of certification\, program requirements\, cost\, and a slate of recent course instructors (some of whom\, e.g.\, Brad\, will be teaching parts of the Fall 2017 course)\, visit WMG’s certification-course webpage.\n

SUMMARY:Dunbar/Spring Neighborhood Foresters & Desert Harvesters: 22nd Annual Dunbar/Spring Neighborhood Rain\, Tree\, & Carbon Planting\, November 18\, 2017 — Tucson AZ
DESCRIPTION:.\n.\nHelp green our streets and walkways with water- and mulch-harvesting rain gardens planted with native\, food-bearing shade trees! \nSuch trees contribute to cooler neighborhood temperatures in summer; attract native song birds; reduce downstream flooding; beautify our community; sequester carbon; and clean our air\, water\, and soil.\n \nBe part of the effort to amplify the oasis effect in the Dunbar/Spring neighborhood! \n22nd Annual Dunbar/Spring Neighborhood Rain\, Tree\, & Carbon Planting\nDate: Saturday\, November 18\, 2017\nTime: 7:30 am\nMeeting spot: In front of 813 N 9th Ave\nDescription: Join Dunbar/Spring neighbors Brad Lancaster\, Omar Ore-Giron\, and other Neighborhood Foresters for demonstrations & training on the work we’ll do. Then help your neighbors—and get to know more of them!—as we plant rain\, mulch\, and trees within water-harvesting basins in the public rights-of-way along our streets. \nTO GET READY…\n** Sign up for Omar’s Water-Harvesting Basin-Creation Service:\nNeighbor and landscaper Omar Ore-Giron is offering a water-harvesting-basin-digging service before the tree planting for just $30 per basin. This is an amazing deal! Trees planted with such basins grow to be healthier and larger\, and have faster growth rates than those without such basins. Using his CanDig machine\, Omar will create water-harvesting tree basins deep enough to harvest street runoff. (We’ll offer a curb-coring service the week after planting\, to cut core holes in the curb\, enabling to the street runoff to flow into the basins.) Omar must have all basin-digging (and coring) requests by November 12. Contact Omar at (520) 425-9795 or nativeroots.az@gmail.com to sign up to get your basin(s) dug.\n** Tree-Order Deadline is Sunday\, November 12!\nTo get your tree-order form(s): email Brad at brad@harvestingrainwater.com\, or download them from www.DunbarSpring.org or the Native-Tree Order Forms page of Desert Harvesters’ website.\n \nTHIS EVENT IS A COLLABORATION OF:\nDunbar/Spring Neighborhood Foresters and Desert Harvesters
