Keyline educator, Darren Doherty.

 Keyline Design is a system that restores and regenerates landscapes. It offers a unique combination of water conservation and soil building, and is a powerful tool for farmers. A primary feature of the work is a cultivation technique using a Keyline plow; the term Keyline refers to a “keypoint” on the watershed, which is the interface between collection and distribution of water on the landscape.

The Keyline method allows a farmer to build soil and to store and supply water where it is most needed!

Topics covered include:

Keyline™ Design, Carbon sequestration, Cost effective soil creation, Water harvesting & reticulation, Designing water into a property, Dam placement, Pasture improvement, Holistic Management™ and much more..
