Rainwater Catchment Systems Project for
Indigenous Beginning Ranchers and Farmers
Native American Agriculture Grant
Our grant application has been approved and we have the opportunity to provide Rainwater Catchment System installations to 49 Indigenous beginning farmers and ranchers in the ancestral lands of the Apache, Hopi, Navajo, and Pueblo Nations (modern-day Southwest). This is going to lead to a lasting and powerful impact on these communities, enhancing water security for food growing and ranching as well as the ability to create a thriving, self-sufficient food system.
Job Posting for Site 1: Northern Arizona
We in search of experienced water catchment systems installers! This is directly tied to our project 'Rainwater Catchment Systems' project where over the course of 2024 we will be installing up to 49 systems in various locations across the southwest.
Our first site will focus in northern Arizona, specifically near Forest Lake Chapter on the Navajo Nation. If you are qualified and interested in participating in this project, please check out the following links for specifics and to fill out an application.
You Can Help Support This Important Work
One of the communities we are working with has offered to cover costs for 9 additional installs if Seeds in Common can fund the cost for the contractors! While NAAF is providing the majority of the funding, this has led to a shortfall - and we are asking our community to help support the implementation of this project. Any donation sent to Seeds in Common will be earmarked for this project until the additional costs of project are procured. You can be part of the reason this project sees success in 2024!
