The Campo de Oeste program will be exploring alternative energy options through a series of activities and experimental demonstrations. Participants will learn about wind, solar and other green technologies and how they can help us better care for our resources. Through a collaborative effort the group will develop their own innovative strategies to utilize these technologies in a typical urban enviroment. Campo Urbano will incorporate these strategies into the everyday life of the ranch to demonstrate the effect each effort has on off-setting our impact on the environment.

Campo Urbano now has it's first Rain Water Harvesting Cistern! Our awesome Ranch Hands turned a used culvert into a catchment system that will collect about 700 gallons of water from the Ranch Guest House. Now onto the other roofs!

The Ranch has recently installed a grey water system for the washer. Laundry is now done using bio-friendly detergent and seems to be keeping the cactus outside very happy and plump.
