 Hi, my name is Peter van der Gage. I'm one of the directors of Ecosystem Restoration Foundation and I'm here today at the Camp Fire Restoration Project in Paradise. Behind me you see the remnants of a forest after a fire hit this place in 2017 and you see the hard labor of Geneva Sorensen who is at a high school preparing some community garden raised beds with a self watering system in them and I'm out of breath because I logged a lot of stones from the road with this wheelbarrow that I couldn't set up straight anymore to this bed to help out. Geneva is making sure I understand that restoration isn't just something you do behind the laptop so thank you Geneva you want to say hi to our audience. Hi friends, green water catchment for drought restricting California. Here you go oh yeah you need to see this so this is a high school that we're at that's by Dolzer this is a high school and a big tank right there is part of the project the water coming from the roof will go into the tank it will feed these beds with the hose that Geneva dug through all the way through here and she's still dugging it through so that the water can run off into the rest of the garden which will hold what are you planning to plan there fruit trees native California native plants annuals vegetables so vegetable garden kind of native habitat there you go yeah so these high school kids can see what's food can learn about water catchment can learn about fire mitigation I'm going to sign off and collapse on this line bye
