Ogallala Life

ral drainages. We installed 110 instances of "Natural Infrastructure in Dryland Streams" aka NIDS, to spread, slow & sink stormwater & recover riparian perennial vegetation. This year, we partnered with the Don Harrington Discovery Center, to do landscape rehydration works along West Amarillo Creek that passes through Wildcat Bluff Discovery Center. We built 80 "leaky weirs" with the same intended function, slow, spread & sink stormwater. We planted trees, bare-root seedlings & cuttings, and installed bunds & terraces along the degraded slope below the windmill. See a map showing the location of these structures on our website, projects page, then go to Wildcat and check it out for yourselves :)

We anxiously await rain. We are making plans for more projects, and further work at Wildcat, and monitoring our NIDS. Moreover, we are active participants and thought leaders in the ReFi space, aka regenerative (decentralized) finance, and see DeSci, & DePIN (decentralized, distributed science & public infrastructure, respectively). This intersection of technology and traditional land recovery practices is fascinating, fruitful and transformative. Support our work, watch & you'll see!
