BIONEERS
2003 Wisdom at the End of a Hoe Workshops

EARTH, WATER, & FIRE
Land and Watershed Assessment and Restoration
With Bob Cannard, Brock Dolman, Dennis Martinez, Penny Livingston-Stark,
and Kathy Wallace
August 1-3, 2003
Tunitas Creek Ranch, Half Moon Bay, CA
$325-$375 sliding scale, includes lunch

Learn how to assess the land by reading the landscape for clues of its
natural history and ecological potential. Develop an
understanding of ecological literacy and learn how to design practical
remedies that encourage biodiversity. These
presenters have a wealth of experience in land restoration, invasive
species mitigation, permaculture and Native American
forestry management systems. The landscape of the beautiful Tunitas Creek
Ranch is made up of riparian corridors, steep
slopes, pastures, high ridges, small orchards, and an abundance of native
vegetation.

Presenter biographies and program details are available on our Web site
at http://bioneers.org/rdi/03ewf.html


URBAN AGRICULTURE
Making the Connection Between Locally Grown Food and Community
With Michael Ableman, Rick Knoll, Will Bullock, Laura Tourte and others
August 21-24, 2003
Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens, Goleta, CA
$325-$375 sliding scale, includes lunch

There is a common misconception that food for our society must be grown
far from the places where most of us live and
work. This is no longer the case. In the most unlikely of places, under
some of the most challenging environments, urban
dwellers are establishing economically viable urban farms.

This intensive three-and-a-half-day workshop, presented by Bioneers and
the Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview
Gardens, will focus on practical strategies for land acquisition, space
intensive production, soil fertility, propagation of
specialty crops, successful local marketing and developing local food
systems. Participants will come away with clear
direction and a "tool kit" for how to begin or enhance existing
operations.

Saturday evening there will be an optional on-farm dinner to provide an
opportunity to network and exchange ideas.

Presenter biographies and program details are available on our Web site
at http://bioneers.org/rdi/urban02.html
