Get out your shovels and dance in the rain!
That is what Brad Lancaster’s 2nd volume in his trilogy on Rainwater Harvesting will make you want to do!
Rainwater Harvesting Earthworks are one of the easiest, least expensive, and most effective ways of passively harvesting and conserving multiple sources of water in the soil. Building on the information presented in Volume 1 ( www.HarvestingRainwater.com), Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Vol 2, shows you how to select, place, size, construct, and plant your chosen water-harvesting earthworks. It presents detailed how-to information and variations of a diverse array of earthworks, including chapters on mulch, vegetation, and greywater recycling so you can customize the techniques to the unique requirements of your site. Returns come in the form of beauty, food, shelter, wildlife habitat, and passive heating and cooling strategies, while controlling erosion, increasing soil fertility, reducing downstream flooding, and improving water and air quality.
Suggested donation of $5 to $10 to support Brad’s great work! No one turned away for lack of funds!
This event is co-sponsored by the Mendocino Ecological Learning Center www.melc.us, the City of Willits and the Navarro Watershed Working Group (www.nwwg.org). For details call 456-0779 or 895-3230
