[Southern California Permaculture] Meet Brad Lancaster

[Ana Brush]

*Meet one of our Guest Teachers for the Water Harvesting for Dryland
Farming Workshop: Brad Lancaster *

Join Brad and the rest of the teaching team from *April 5-8, 2017 for the
Water Harvesting for Dryland Farming course*... Brad is the author of the
award-winning Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond and co-founder
of DesertHarvesters.org.

Since 1993 Brad has run a successful permaculture education, design, and
consultation business focused on integrated regenerative approaches to
landscape design, planning, and living.

In the Sonoran Desert, with just 11 inches of annual rainfall, he and his
brother harvest about 100,000 gallons of rainwater a year on an eighth-acre
urban lot and adjoining right-of-way. This harvested water is then turned
into living air conditioners of food-bearing shade trees, abundant gardens,
and a thriving landscape incorporating wildlife habitat, beauty, medicinal
plants, and more.

The goal of his book series and overall work is to empower his clients and
community to make positive change in their own lives and neighborhoods—by
harvesting and enhancing free on-site resources such as water, sun, wind,
shade, community, and more. It’s catching on, as evidenced by tens of
thousands of practitioners and demand for Brad’s work around the world.
