Slow the Flow
3-Day Landscape Hydrology & Holistic Planning Workshop 21-23 September, 2026
About This Event:
Join us for a practical and groundbreaking 3-day workshop designed to move you from landscape reading to active water cycle restoration.
Offered for the first time in the US, Martin Royds has over 30 years of practical experience returning flowing water, production and profit to previously parched and eroded landscapes.
What You Will Learn:
Leave equipped with a whole-ranch framework to manage land more effectively.
Key outcomes include:
• Reading the Landscape: Decode a land’s hydrological story using geology, soil profiles, and vegetation signals
• Livestock as tools: Grazing management for riparian, soil and water health
• Digital Tools: Use contour maps, NDVI, and aerial imagery to guide your field observations
• Practical Construction: Learn to site and construct restorative contours for snow and rainfall capture
• Natural Sequence Farming: Apply principles to slow the flow, grow cover, return nutrients to the top, filter water and utilize livestock for landscape hydration
