Project Summary

Location: Downtown Bowie, Arizona, USA

Project Type: Construct site-specific earthworks-based rainwater catchment and retention methods on public and private property.

  • Construct site-specific earthworks-based rainwater catchment and retention methods

  • Restore and protect soil viability

  • Reseed native vegetation without irrigation

  • Design and plant an educational demonstration site

Size: This project model will be reproduced in up to 100 Bowie homes and then expand to the nearby Apache Reservation.

Environmental benefits:

  • Engagement in community initiatives that also slow down global warming and carbon emissions.

  • Restoring ecosystem homeostasis.

Community benefits:

  • Significantly improve quality of life for small rural towns in arid regions through the availability of local healthy food sources.

  • Retrofitted rainwater catchment, storage and distribution infrastructure and earthworks reduces need on pumping ground water from lowering aquifers.

  • Irrigation systems and methods for high-yield organic food forestry on both private and municipal properties.

  • Learn about ecological sustainability and earth systems.

  • We aim to ensure water and food security within community food deserts through ecological education resulting in individual empowerment to make a difference in the world.

Status: In process

A community-based food forest will be installed at SkyHarvest Headquarters in central Bowie, AZ where families harvest food in addition to the fruit and nut trees planted on the streets, and herb gardens planted at home.
