Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["TradingPostPaul" <tradingpost@riseup.net>]

This is for all those who talk a good game but never get their hands dirty.
It's an exchange on the water planning list here in central NM. Lynn is a
friend of ours, a doer, not just a talker. (Acequias are traditional
irrigation ditches dating from the 1600's and earlier, beginning with some
of the native pueblos and adapted by Spanish settlers.)

Dear Water Planners,
    As our acequia parciantes worked hard cleaning and fixing up our ditch,

Reid and his gang were planting trees in Las Huertas Creek below. No talk 
and lots of action. We are going to restore our world with our backs and 
wallets, not talking endlessly and thinking we are actually doing
something.
Regards, Lynn

Dear Friends-

Stream Team 2007 is off to a raging start - we've already
planted over 300 Cottonwood, Willow and New Mexico Olive trees
along Las Huertas Creek in Placitas.

Please visit my web page at
http://ga4.org/guardians/fundraising/rbandeen-163500 and support
my vision to restore degraded Southwestern Rivers through Stream
Team 2007. We're setting our sights on the Santa Fe River and
Rio Puerco next!

Don't forget- making a contribution to support planting trees is
a great way to offset your personal carbon footprint. Thanks
very much for your consideration!

All the best-
Reid Bandeen
