You’ll see examples of:\n• an integrated “tiny house” where a one-car garage was converted into a cottage or “garottage” that passive heats and cools itself for free with well-designed winter sun access & summer shading. 75% of its building materials were salvaged from the waste stream;\n• solar cooking\, solar water heating\, and solar power;\n• legal & inexpensive site-built composting toilets\, which helped legalize such toilets state-wide;\n• organic gardens getting 95+% of their irrigation needs met by harvested rainwater;\n• inexpensive gravity-fed rainwater harvesting systems providing safe & delicious rainwater for all domestic needs including drinking – with no expensive pumps or mechanical filtration systems;\n• extensive gravity-fed greywater harvesting systems turning “waste” waters into resource waters.\n• how a joyous 20 plus-years of car-free life has been possible (cargo bicycle is key)\, and saves over $8\,000 annually\n \n \nIn the neighborhood part of the tour you’ll see:\n• water-harvesting traffic-calming features that helped turn a dangerous streets into a welcoming bicycle boulevards\,\n• street-runoff harvesting strategies that use street runoff to freely irrigate street trees and control flooding – and new evolutions improvements on these strategies\n• learn how these once “pre-legal” street runoff-harvesting strategies were legalized\, rebated\, and mandated\n• native food forests doubling as wildlife and pollinator corridors that canopy over public foot paths\,\n• how an annual neighborhood rain and tree planting effort has resulted in the planting of over 1\,500 trees and hundreds of understory plants in the neighborhood\n• how a county grant helped pay for water-harvesting strategies harvesting over 1 million gallons of annual stormwater in and along the streets\n• how a neighborhood-organized Neighborhood Foresters program is training up the neighborhood to steward these features and is implementing more.\n• public art & other strategies reclaiming the commons for more life!\n \nBrad will also be selling (at deep discount) & signing copies of the just released & revised\, full-color editions of his award-winning books; and Plant the Rain t-shirts\, caps\, and stickers.

SUMMARY:Hands-On Tree Care\, Pruning & Mulching Workshop Saturday\, February 22\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:Starts at 9am\, stay as long as you can or want\nCost: $5 suggested donation\, though no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.\nWhere: the The Revolutionary Petunia/Dunbar Community Garden/Orchard space (NW corner of 11th Ave and University Blvd). Tucson\, Arizona\nOpen to all. Learn how you can organize similar Neighborhood Forester efforts in your neighborhood.\nAfter demonstration we will move to various parts of the neighborhood to get supervised hands-on experience as we help prune native food-bearing trees in our neighborhood’s public rights-of-way.\nThis is an incredible learning opportunity as every six months we revisit and rework areas pruned so we see the effect of our good work and mistakes\, thereby enabling us to improve and evolve with the expert guidance from certified arborist Aleck MacKinnon.\nWe’ll also cover how to prune to keep trees below power lines out of conflict with the utility lines.\nProfessionals can get continued education credits for the workshop from Aleck.\nInstructors: certified arborist Aleck MacKinnon of the Pedaling Arborist\, assisted by Brad Lancaster and Omar Ore-Giron of the Dunbar/Spring Neighborhood Foresters.     \nBring pruning tools if you have them. We’ll provide for those that don’t. \n\nMulch service turning “wastes” into resources:\nAfter the pruning\, Omar will offer a service Dunbar/Spring neighbors to haul prunings to Tank’s Materials and deliver a half cubic yard of mulch in return. Minimum cost is $20\, based on volume.\nThis way the pruned biomass is recycled back into the root zone of the trees it came from. Nothing is thrown away or removed from the natural system.\nNOTE: All public rights-of-ways adjoining properties must maintain a continuous clear walkway area a minimum 5 feet wide and 7 feet tall to make our neighborhood walkways and forests accessible for all.\nSee our Dunbar/Spring Neighborhood Walkability Study here.\nSponsored by the Dunbar/Spring Neighborhood Foresters \nand Desert Harvesters\n\n\n\n\n
