Event Description

Sustainable Neighborhood Tour: Nuestro Barrio Project (S Central Phx)
Saturday Jan 9th from 10 to Noon
Meet at Lewis Park - 13th Place north of Yuma Street

AZHS has embarked upon a multi-year partnership to work with the residents of Nuestro Barrio to transform their vision plan for the community into a master plan focused on low-tech environmental sustainability, economic development, and cultural promotion. This project speaks to all of our main initiatives: food and water security, resource conservation, community building including job creation, enhancing the local ecosystem and HAVING FUN!!

Elements of this project include community wide:

--tree canopy coverage (goal 50% in the next 5 years - currently at less than 2%)
--waste management including increased recycling, green waste composting and creative reuse of waste products
--public edibles spaces including gardens, orchards and native edibles
--community rain and greywater harvesting including daylighting existing canals
--rehabilitation of neighborhood architecture including original adobe structures
--energy audits, passive solar projects and small-scale solar projects
--creating green jobs by working with local businesses and educational facilities
--leadership building
--public art installations

Learn a little about the history, present and future of the Nuestro Barrio Community by coming with us on a tour of the neighborhood. There are many, many ways to interact with this project that we will also be discussing.

Because of the physical limitations of some of the participants, we will be driving to the various points of interest. However, you may choose to bring a bicycle to follow along.
