The TFS Crew Testing the Erosion Structure - photo by Big Walrus
We are doing the prep work for our next Erosion Control Workshop on April 20, 21, and 22. This is number 6 of our workshops put on by Craig Sponholtz and funded by the Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission. We have over 120 erosion control structures on the Double Circle Ranch now and hope to keep building more. Without the AWPF funding, we would not have been able to do nearly as much erosion work. We are very grateful for their support and the contributions made by the Forest Service and Greenlee County, it is important work. The erosion control structures save soil, keep the creek cleaner, provide habitat for wildlife, and increase plant diversity and vigor.
Plus it is just plain fun! We always meet the best people from all walks of life. We get to learn, play, and work all at the same time. And the price is right- FREE. You camp and we feed you. Craig teaches you skills you can use on your own backyards and property. This is the deal of the year! Come on out to the ranch and be prepared to sweat a little and laugh a lot in some of the prettiest and wildest country in the U.S. You will fall in love with Eagle Creek- a unique, remote little corner of the world. Sign up early—we always fill up.
Dear Wilma and Doug,
The warm welcome into your ranch life during the Erosion Control Workshop was an eye-opener. I like natural grass-fed beef and now have an idea of the care that makes it so good. We were immediately and comfortably integrated into ranch life, as we put on hats and work gloves and headed over to a gully to lay patterns of rock for erosion control. The food was gourmet. To top it off, the company led to fascinating conversations. Thank you for a fabulous weekend! Jean
Jean,
Thanks for the kind words. We enjoyed having you at the ranch and appreciate all the erosion work you and the rest of the folks did here. The volunteers who come to the Double Circle are some of the most interesting- and entertaining- people. We always have a great time. Now we can add you to our list of exceptional people! Thanks again.
Wilma
