Front Range Bioneers

Through the lens of Permaculture Design, this workshop will explore the precious resource of water in the Colorado climate and beyond. As communities all over the world develop and update, they are being forced by erratic weather patterns to consider drought and flood concurrently. While a seeming contradiction, there is proven strategy that transforms this dichotomy. Jason Gerhardt will address designing for disaster as an opportunity to make resilient and regenerative landscapes a reality. From city streets to rural agroecosystems to wildlands, he will use case studies, data driven research and simple techniques to lead attendees on a photographic journey en route to a hydrophilic paradigm, and some surprising conclusions.
