Residential Permaculture Design ­ When rainwater hits your roof what happens to it? Join Dr. Roslynn Brain McCann on a journey that will help you think through your home landscape design from an integrated, ecological - or permaculture - lens, starting at the top (your roof). We will explore ways to slow, spread, sink, and store rainwater and greywater on the landscape, and to use that water to grow perennial edible, pollinator attracting, soil stabilizing, nutrient accumulating, and nitrogen fixing plants. Ideally, you will leave with the intention to apply at least one new tool or technique to increase the water and ecological resilience of your own landscape. ­ Our presenter, Dr. Roslynn Brain McCann is an Extension Specialist at Utah State University. She uses conservation theory, communication techniques, and social marketing tools to foster positive environmental behaviors in the areas of land, air, food, water and energy conservation. She is also the coordinator for Utah Farm-Chef-Fork, the USU Permaculture Initiative, and Sustainable You! kids’ camps. ­ ­ Join Us May 14th @ 2pm via Zoom Continuing Education Units Available (UCNP, QWEL, DOPL-PRO, IA and others..) ­ Register here ­
