Part biography, part how-to, “Water Wizard” Bill Zeedyk and his allies illustrate a proven toolbox of simple low-tech, low-cost methods to restore degraded lands. They work with Nature, rather than against her, to gird against the extremes of drought and flood while fostering climate resiliency. We’ll be screening: Episode 1: “Willing to Try Things”

Today, “water wizard” Bill Zeedyk is a legend in the ecological restoration community. But when he began this work over 25 years ago, after retiring from the U.S. Forest Service, his ideas were considered almost heretical.

Building on the work of Luna Leopold (son of famed conservationist Aldo Leopold), the river guru Dave Rosgen, and influenced by indigenous practices of tribes in NM and AZ, Zeedyk coaxes straightened streams back on their natural meandering course, lifts the creek, raises the water table and recreates lost habitats. All while using simple restoration techniques he designed or innovated upon.
