I host a themed dialogue within the Design School - TEK (trad'l eco knowledge) for Drylands. We've discussed qanats, mamanteos, chinampas, johads...

Tomorrow's chat ft @coolbeans1r.eth re waffle gardens!
We plan to install a sizable demo at Wildcat Bluff Discovery Center this winter 🤠

I'm hosting Joe, Penny & a few others from the Design School to Regenerate Earth here on southern high plains next week - an homage to the land & prep for bioregional organizing.
Will be busy! Will see Bison at Caprock canyons, failing reservoirs Mackenzie & Buffalo Lake, degraded & restored playa wetlands (Ogallala Commons field day), our landscape rehydration works at Wildcat & the Kritser, & multiple rivers including the Canadian, the N Canadian aka Beaver, the Cimarron & the Arkansas. Am pumped, aim to share more here as it goes...

This February, we built 80 leaky weirs to slow, spread & soak stormwater, retain moisture & nutrients, recover healthy riparian function & recharge groundwater - along W Amarillo Creek at Wildcat Bluff Discovery Center

It's rained enough to activate flow & we're harvesting rainwater 💪🏽

A good start🤠

We've gotten rain enough to activate one branch of W Amarillo Creek - our leaky weirs slow, spread & soak stormwater to retain moisture & nutrients, recover healthy riparian function & recharge groundwater

Trek up the Canadian river - beaver!?

Spring w/ my favorite people :) 😄

A warm Farcaster welcome to @majordomo-monger!

Mark is black belt erosion-fighter, hugely helpful to our landscape rehydration efforts in #txpanhandle

Walked part of Van Neta creek this weekend, just S of historic Valle De Oro (urban legend says gold in hills, more likely named for colored soils)

Landowner interested in landscape rehydration works.
Def intrigued but where to start, not much local materials to work with & most importantly, who pays!?

Can we import(?) NFTs from Stargaze, IBC to farcaster?

#OgallalaLife collab w/ #DHDC - built 80 #NIDS along West Amarillo Creek

A favorite article on why

"slow the drainage of water from the landscape such that more of it can infiltrate and be used to facilitate natural physical, chemical, and biological processes...
