Water is our most important resource yet we face issues of water shortage and run-off pollution, two problems that can become one solution. Join permaculture designer and watershed expert Brock Dolman to investigate how changing our thinking and our design to slow, spread, and sink water on our property we can use less potable water, decrease flooding, improve water quality, stream structure and function, increase groundwater recharge, enhance wildlife habitat, provide short term and long term economic benefits and improve local aesthetics.
$10 Suggested Donation (all proceeds go towards further sustainability efforts within SLO County).
