Basins of Relations: Thinking like a Salmon Creek Watershed

Occidental Arts and Ecology Center biologist and educator, Brock Dolman will offer a series of slide images and interpretation about redwoods, old growth forests, water, watersheds, human development patterns and restoration ideas that support regenerative ecological integrity and instream flows for salmonids and societies. Water is the ‘element of life’ on Planet Water and the conservation of native ecosystems swimming, crawling, flying and walking with biodiversity is absolutely dependent upon hydrologically intact watersheds.
 
Brock will discuss rainwater harvesting as a strategy of water conservation, both as practiced by Redwoods at the Grove of the Old Trees down to your own roof. Speaker will expand on ideas of “Conservation Hydrology” and Low Impact Development, which emphasizes the need in many areas for human development designs to move from drainage to retain-age. He will highlight many of the exciting examples of this work being implemented in the Salmon Creek Watershed.
