Our PVNA neighbor, Watershed Management Group (WMG), is reaching out to to recruit neighborhood leaders for their Build Your Own Basin (BYOB) program to help capture our precious desert rain.
As a neighborhood leader you host an outdoor workshop at your home for your neighbors. Andrea Salazar, WMG project manager, leads the workshop and shows everyone how to dig a basin, plant it with native plants and protect it with mulch. Building a basin is simple, but the work goes much more quickly with the help of a few neighbors with shovels!
After the initial workshop, neighbors who attended the workshop host another workshop at their home and build another basin with other neighbors, spreading the education and sharing the work amongst yourselves. WMG would continue to support the workshops by providing plants, tools and educational support.
Andrea is teaming with Rachel D'Acquisto in the Southeast quadrant to dig the first basin in this series. To discuss your own workshop with Andrea, contact her at asalazar@watershedmg.org. You can also attend BYOB events at WMG at these times:
1) Saturday, April 8th from 3pm-5pm
2) Tuesday, April 25th 5:30pm-7:30pm
3) Thursday, April 27th 5:30pm-7:30pm
