   Permaculture is an holistic designed system that uses the principles
   of nature to make our environment healthy for plants, animals and
   people. Coined the lazy man's gardening, this form of sustainable
   agriculture is highly efficient and effective producing more diverse
   and abundant yields with little to no effort and fossil fuels.
   Permaculture principles can be applied from the farm to the city.
   The concepts span to rebuilding local economies, lessening our
   dependence on fossil fuels, and making for healthier families and
   communities. This workshop will introduce the principles of
   permaculture and  its applications.  Excellent preparation for
   permaculture design certification.

Savanna is a transition zone from forest to prairie. Our sandy soil  is 
home to many rare plants and animals including the stunted black oaks, 
the crowned oval sledge,  the red headed wood pecker and the pocket 
gopher. 

Founded by a freedman in the 1800's, Pembroke township is one of the 
last remaining black oak sand savannas in the Midwest
