AT QUAIL SPRINGS PERMACULTURE, IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

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.
