Event Description

Permaculture is a philosophy and a framework for re-structuring how we relate to the ecosystems we live in and the people we share them with. Combining design fundamentals with hands-on skills, this course links the how and the why of regenerating urban spaces. Upon completion, participants receive the internationally recognized Permaculture Designer Certificate.

Course Highlights

  • Fundamentals of ecological community design
  • Urban farming and regeneration of urban ecology
  • Composting, soil building and bioremediation
  • Water capture and conservation
  • Natural building and retrofitting of urban spaces
  • Social permaculture and community engagement

Erin Innes is a Permaculture practitioner and environmental justice activist. A dynamic instructor grounded in experiential learning, with a background in urban farming and natural building, Erin brings a diverse set of hands-on skills and a rich understanding of our temperate rainforest ecosystem and how to live abundantly with it.

I would have seriously considered it, but am away on vacation during that time.  Please keep me on the list for future offerings.

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
