Quail Springs Permaculture invites you to learn about what constitutes
regenerative landscape design & restoration. Craig’s workshops offer an
understanding of the science of water on the landscape.

This 5-day Regenerative Water Harvesting & Land Restoration training
offers hands-on experience in the assessment, design and construction of
an on-going restorative and regenerative watershed project with intensive
immersion and experiential training in:

-  Healing degraded land by harvesting runoff
-  Reading the landscape and making informed decisions
-  Recognizing the symptoms and causes of degraded land
-  Identifying regenerative natural processes
-  Understanding how humans affect and are affected by the landscape and
watershed
-  Designing resilient solutions
-  Understanding management options for degraded land
-  Deciding what is doable and what should be done first
-  Planning and preparing to complete a successful project
-  Maintaining a project and ensuring its long-term success

Participants will learn skills needed to do high quality work that will
stand up to natural processes over time. These skills will serve a wide
spectrum of people and professions, from backyard restorationists to
farmers and land managers. Craig Sponholtz believes in doing it right the
first time and spends extra time with students on projects to ensure that
they understand the subtleties of the work being done. Emphasis on quality
ultimately fosters immense pride of a beautiful job well done.

"Craig Sponholtz’s Applied Watershed Restoration courses are a must. I was
very impressed with the thoroughness, hands-on learning, and Craig’s deep
knowledge – based on years of real-life experiences. The strategies taught
are simple and effective. They build on natural patterns so you work with
natural processes not against them. This way nature does the bulk of the
work once the structures are in place. I highly recommend these courses
for anyone working with the land and water."  - Brad Lancaster, author of
