  • Recognize watershed boundaries, not just plat

plans, political districts or historical boundaries

  • Use Small Storm Hydrology (95% of rain)
  • Understand historical vegetation types, but plan

with global warming in mind

  • Hire a ecologist / conservation biologist, soils

scientist to help

  • Understand soils, water and vegetation to design

an interconnected systems approach

Reth thinki nking ng the Large ge Scale ale

“Because living sustainably requires a transformation of consciousness, the campus as a whole will provide

  • pportunities for learning and experiences necessary for transformational education of mind, body and spirit.”

– IHM Vision Statement

"It's a real ecological laboratory experience, and also an education experience… We hope the campus continues to provide

  • that. We hope young

people can come here and learn about sustainability.”

Manage the small Rainfalls Investigate the Soils – can they infiltrate? What Vegetation do The Trout need ? Change the perception of the RIGHT landscape

We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.
