Brad will start by giving his Water-Harvesting Earthworks Presentation: Planting the Rain: Principles, Practices, and Tips for Water-Harvesting Earthworks and Raingardens, to be followed by a hands-on workshop on the 7-acres site of Santuario Sisterfarm. There will be a break for lunch. More details will be posted as they become available.

Presentation description:
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.
