Are you interested in learning more about soil erosion and how to mitigate it on the land? Join us for an all-day workshop at Arroyo Runs Through It, a micro-farm in the east mountains between Santa fe and Albuquerque. You will learn how to identify types of erosion, read the landscape to assess where the origin of erosion problems might be occurring, and how to easily build affordable structures that help control eroding water flow and increase water infiltration.

Aaron Kauffman from Southwest Urban Hydrology will share a quick presentation, and then we’ll start the hands-on work – come ready to spend the day outside moving rocks! Lunch will be provided.
