April AWPF Workshop
We had a great erosion control workshop last weekend. This is the 3rd one funded by the Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission, and they just keep getting better. Craig Sponholtz of Dryland Solutions, Inc. was the instructor again and put on a good, hands-on class. We had volunteers from as close as next door and as far away as Albuquerque, San Diego, and Los Angeles. It was an interesting group and a bunch of WORKERS. You should see some of the boulders they moved. We built Zuni bowls, one-rock dams, rock-mulch rundowns, media lunas, and post and vane structures. Now we need a good rain to watch them work!
By the way, women aren’t always the weaker sex. These were some strong ladies. The guys had to hustle to keep up with these gals. Everyone had a great time, learned a lot, and hopefully will return here to the Double Circle.
