May 9, 2016 Technical Round Table: Increasing Soil Water Retention, Plant Health and Carbon Sequestration

 Our May Technical Round Table will take place on Monday, May 9, from 7:00- 8:30 PM at the Watershed Resource Center at Hendry's Beach, as usual.  This month's topic is Increasing Soil Water Retention, Plant Health and Carbon Sequestraton. 

Forrist Tanner Lytehaause, founder of RISE: Regeneration in Soil Ecology, will present some ideas how landscape professionals can increase client satisfaction and revenue through a deeper understanding of soil.  We all need to become soil health specialists.  Increasing the soil biology and ecosystem can easily result in a 500% improvement of soil water retention, resilient plants capable of weathering climate change effects and helping the planet through substantial increases in carbon sequestration.

Your input, ideas, and experiences on these topics are welcome and encouraged.

Technical round tables are held on the second Monday of each  month. In May we'll be discussing Increasing Soil Water Retention, Plant Health, and Carbon Sequestration.

Our goal for the Technical Round Table series is for each of us to feel more empowered and ready to promote or install cutting edge features, create a support system so we can quickly trouble shoot with each other, use less water in a more efficient way without compromsing our lifestyles, and make our community more resilient. This is an ongoing process and we hope you’ll join us and continue to attend these productive meetings.

 

The Watershed Resource Center is the blue two-story building on the right of the main parking lot at Hendry's Beach, as you face the ocean. It's about halfway to the beach from the street. Come up the stairs and come on in.

 Suggested donation is just $10 at the door in cash or check. Looking forward to seeing you there.
