PERMACULTURE DESIGN CERTIFICATION COURSE
AT WORLD STEWARD’S HIGHLAND FARM

Join us for a two-week intensive design course facilitated
by Toby Hemenway and Jude Hobbs at World Steward's
Highland Farm.

Permaculture is a whole-systems method of design that
organizes ideas, strategies, and techniques from
agriculture, appropriate technology, natural building,
economics, and other disciplines into a pattern of
mutually supportive relationships.  By using principles
from nature to thoughtfully integrate land, water, plants,
people, animals, shelter, technologies, and community,
Permaculture lets us design sustainable places to live.


WHERE:    Across from Hood River in Underwood Washington.
 Located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge in the
inspirational complexity of both east and west Cascade
ecosystems, World Steward's Highland Farm is dedicated to
landscape based education for a sustainable culture.

WHEN:    August 19-31, 2005

COST:    $1,400 includes local organic farm-fresh meals,
covered camping, workshops and course materials, and a
subscription to the Permaculture Activist.  Certification
is available upon completion of the two-week course.

Scholarships are available to those interested in doing
work exchange.
