Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Certificate Program in
Permaculture and Ecological Design


Permaculture is a practical design process modeled on balanced
ecosystems. It is holistic in both ethic and function, enhancing air,
water, food, biodiversity, and community health. Permaculture is rooted
in stewardship and efficient use of local resource ecology rather than
reliance and overconsumption of costly imported resources.

This 10-week series of experiential seminars meets Sundays from 9am-3pm
at Cal Poly's Permaculture Center and Organic Farm. The series benefits
all people interested in sustainable living practices, and includes
practical training for gardeners, land managers, farmers, architects,
planners, community service volunteers, environmental educators, and
students.

If you’re interested in clean air, water, healthy food and community,
this course is for you.

Sessions include presentations, training, and "learn-by-doing"
collaboration with permaculture designers, Cal Poly professors,
landscape professionals, and community leaders dedicated to restorative
ecological practices. An information packet with more detailed
scheduling will be sent upon request.

Examples of topics covered:

Soil building, water harvesting, solar technologies, patterns in nature,
holistic management, ecological food systems, food forestry, straw bale
construction, chicken “tractors”, worm ranching, and community design.
Also included are field trips to permaculture sites of interest.

Participants can register for single sessions, or the whole series which
includes an accredited Certificate of Completion and 5 continuing
education units (CEUs). We will assist in accomodations for out of town
participants. Certification qualifies trainees for work-exchange
privileges for the two-week residential Permaculture Design Course
beginning Summer Solstice.

Instructors:
Larry Santoyo, Permaculture West, Senior Permaculture Instructor
Akiva Werbalowsky, BA, MA, Permaculture Instructor
Julian Kayne, BA, Permaculture Instructor

The two week residential Permaculture Design Course begins and ends
with celebrations on Summer Solstice (June 20) and July 4. This is a
great opportunity to live and learn Permaculture in a temporary village
where all meals and services are developed with Permaculture practices
in mind. Information is available on request:
