SUMMARY:Urban Earthworks: A Terra-Forming Work Party
DESCRIPTION:\nTerra Forming: Gently sculpting the earth according to P
 ermaculture principles to maximize energy storage and yields while har
 monizing with the spirit of the land. \nJune 22nd & 23rd 10 AM- 4 PM P
 rice: Donations will be accepted for Brian's time. Please RSVP if you 
 can.\nDo you have an issue with too much water on your property or not
  enough at various times of the year? Come work and learn with us on a
 n urban property to design and implement a series of small swales, rai
 sed beds, dry wells, spillways, silt/nutrient traps and potential pond
 . In a functional setting at an approachable scale.  \n \nThis han
 ds on workshop will cover how to survey and design property to best ma
 nage your water and nutrient resources on site throughout the year.  
 We will look at seasonal trends, soil types and strata, design strateg
 ies, and performance functions.  This two day workshop will start wit
 h understanding the goals and objectives for the project leading to th
 e design process. Soil evaluation and surveying the key features where
  earthwork will be conducted will be covered next. Using a small machi
 ne we will execute the design. The second day we will follow up by han
 d, fine-tuning the geo-sculpting and cover planting with a host of co
 ver crops and plants that will accelerate the healing and long-term st
 abilization and abundance of the system.\nWorkshop will be facilitated
  by Brian Kerkvliet of Inspiration Farm. Brian is a Permaculture Desig
 n Consultant and land steward. He has implemented numerous earthen w
 ater and nutrient management systems on their 12 acre farm over the la
 st 6 years. Project will be hosted by David and Angela MacLeod in the 
 Birchwood Neighborhood, Bellingham Washington.\n For more information
