The night began with a presentation by Aminah McNulty on Permaculture & Dryland Strategies. It's awesome to see that even among all of the areas throughout the world that suffer from drought and difficulty with growing green life, that there are researchers working on ways to combat this, bringing life to barren ground.
From there, we worked on planning future events – some coming up soon, some for the holiday seasons quickly approaching. Be on the lookout for more building tours, workshops, and networking sessions.
The next EPMA monthly meeting will be November 19th – come and join to meet some other emerging professionals and to help push our USGBC Chapter into the future!
