Erosion Control Workshop October, 2011

Participants in a Previous Erosion Control Workshop

I am thrilled to have our dates for the next erosion control workshops at Double Circle Ranch. We were fortunate to be funded by Arizona Water Protection Commissioners for 3 more workshops. This fall we will have a workshop on October 14th, 15th, and 16th. The price is great – free. Free instruction, free camping and even free meals.

The training with Craig Sponholtz of Dryland Solutions, Inc. is hard to beat and the skills learned can be easily applied at your home or work. This is a worthwhile project designed to protect Eagle Creek with its endangered species habitat as well as forage and soil upland. You learn by doing. And it is always fun. We have great volunteers from all over the country with varied ages, backgrounds, and erosion control experience. I always enjoy the time spent with these hard working folks – they have become my friends and many return to visit and help on other projects.

There is only one workshop this year. We have another one scheduled for April 13, 14, 15 of 2012 and the third for October 12, 13, 14, 2012. So sign up ASAP. We limit our volunteer numbers to 30 so Craig can spend lots of time with everyone. Look for our dates to be added on our program list on the website – or just respond to this blog. I’ll hold a spot for you.
