Urban Land Stewardship Workshop Series

Here is information from Kate Watters at the Grand Canyon Trust about the Urban Land Stewardship Workshop Series that they and TerraBIRDS are presenting: 
 
I want to pass along this information about an upcoming workshop series hosted by TerraBIRDS and Grand Canyon Trust at our historic homestead on Fort Valley Road.
 
Many members have been key supporters of a project to build a new barn for our volunteer program. We are excited to have a new, green facility to stage our service trips to the Colorado Plateau.
 
Now the work begins to restore the site to natural conditions and create a beautiful, functioning ecosystem and fabulous event space.

Here is some information on the Urban land Stewardship Workshop Series that may interest you.  
 
The 1 1/2 day workshop will be hands-on learning and practice in:
  • Applying ecological design concepts
