SUMMARY:Creating Resilient Cities: Water Utilities on the Front Lines of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:From Austin Water –\nHow will climate change affect our water resources? The impacts of climate change are here and becoming more and more apparent. One existential climate issue is the impact of climate change on local water resources. Water utilities are already experiencing the effects of a changing climate on their water supplies\, not to mention the stress water supplies are experiencing in rapidly urbanizing areas. \nOn May 2nd at the Palmer Events Center\, Austin Water will host a one-day forum “Creating Resilient Cities\,” that focuses on how water utilities are leading the way in adapting to climate change to enhance resilience for our communities. This forum is cohosted with the Water Utility Climate Alliance (WUCA)\, a leader in this field and currently marking its tenth year\, and the City’s Office of Sustainability. Renowned climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe from Texas Tech University will give the plenary keynote. \nThis forum will feature three sessions exploring issues such as water rights and regional collaboration in the Colorado River basin of the arid Southwest\, creating resilient utilities in the face of extremes\, and the opportunities and challenges of incorporating climate information into a range of water sector functions. Water utility leaders will discuss the particular challenges faced by their utilities and what they are doing to meet these challenges.

SUMMARY:PEAS Community Farm Day
DESCRIPTION:From Partners For Education\, Agriculture\, and Sustainability (PEAS) –\nTwice a month\, we have Community Farm Days to maintain the farm.  Members may harvest at their leisure\, but farm days are also a great time to come and pitch-in on the work and grab produce at the same time. \nTraditionally\, community gardens have been a space where members rent one plot and take care only of their assigned space\, leaving other plots to their respective owners\, who may or may not have the time to keep up with them over an extended period.  In order to more easily sustain the school community farm\, the community works collaboratively to farm the whole piece of land as a group.  Working side by side with neighbors to meet a common goal creates a true community. \nThis event is open to both members and volunteers alike. If you would like to become a member of the farm and enjoy open access and harvesting rights to the farm\, you can apply here. \nAbout PEAS: \nPEAS is 501c3 non-profit that builds community and care for our planet by providing education surrounding agriculture\, nature\, and sustainability through school day programs\, after school programs\, camps\, and PEAS Community Farm & Urban Orchard at Cunningham Elementary. If you would like to become a member of the farm and enjoy open access and harvesting rights to the farm\, you can apply here.

SUMMARY:Free Class: Plant Propagation
DESCRIPTION:From the Natural Gardener –\nTuesday\, May 8th at 10am – “Plant Propagation” with Neil Schmidt.   \nIt is simple and easy to propagate plants.  Some of the most common ways plants are propagated or multiplied are by growing seeds\, root division and stem cuttings.  Neil will discuss which process is most appropriate for specific species.  Do you have a favorite plant you want to share with friends or one you just can’t find anywhere to get more?  Dividing plants and taking cuttings allow you to greatly increase the number of plants you have so they can be shared\, sold or planted in the landscape.  You never knew it could be so simple! \nNeil has experience working as Propagation Specialist for the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center and the Info Desk at The Natural Gardener.  Let him get you started on your project!
