10am, outdoors. Help construct an outdoor rainwater-fed shower with permaculture designer and educator Andrew Faust from the Center for Bioregional Living. For those who take the rainwater catchment and spring-development classes this class will round out your off-grid water knowledge.
Having multiple back-ups for single essential functions is a core principle of Permaculture. Rain tanks help to limit your use of fossil fuels and give true water independence.
Did you know? The Hudson Valley receives an average of 41.9″ of rainfall annually. With 2-4 inches to be harvested monthly, rainwater catchment is key to water security in your home and community!
