APPLIED WATERSHED RESTORATION
WITH CRAIG SPONHOLTZ OF DRYLAND SOLUTIONS, INC.
AT QUAIL SPRINGS PERMACULTURE, IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

October 7-10,2013

Applied Watershed Restoration is designed for landowners and land  
managers, as well as practitioners, farmers, ranchers, restorationists  
and advanced students of Permaculture. It emphasizes working with,  
rather than against, nature and will establish the foundational  
knowledge needed to work effectively with our most precious resource,  
water.

Increase your working knowledge of water harvesting, erosion control  
and stream restoration practices with this four-day, intensive workshop.

Acquire the critical skills needed to recognize the symptoms of land  
degradation and their root causes.
Learn to identify and prioritize the best opportunities to harvest  
runoff and improve watershed health.

Gain exposure to cutting-edge land-healing methods such as floodwater  
agroecology, induced meandering, natural channel design and others.

Build on your landscape reading skills and learn to recognize the  
dynamic processes that drive natural systems.

Deepen your design skills and learn to incorporate natural processes  
into designs to increase resilience and adaptability.

Develop the confidence and knowledge needed to make informed decisions  
about any water harvesting, erosion control or water management  
project you may encounter.

Participate in an intensive assessment process that will lead to the  
design and construction of regenerative projects that will turn  
erosion problems into water harvesting opportunities at Quail Springs.
