["Anthony Colombo" <acolombo@5thworld.net>]

The course takes place at beautiful Makapala, on the Big Island of Hawaii
- from the January 8th thru the 29th, 2001. Participants will spend three
weeks learning and living sustainable system design and establishment. To
the best of our knowledge, this course represents the most hands-on
Permaculture design course ever offered. Instructors include the Bullock
brothers and other Permaculture experts.
 
During the course we will:
Install roof catchment water system including plumbing, an aquaculture
tank, garden pond & solar powered irrigation;
Build a nursery shade house using natural materials;
Establish a fruit forest windbreak;
Plant hundreds of perennial vegetables, giant edible timber bamboos,
thatch palms, tropical hardwoods, exotic nut trees, NFT's and endangered
native plants.
