This

permaculture curriculum as well as lots of local knowledge.
Participants will learn to design a basic homestead and apply the
permaculture principles and patterns to any other design project. Ashland 
Transition Town progress will be highlighted, and we will all have a
chance to discuss and explore the mandates of sustainability.

Tom
Ward will be the facilitator and there will be several
guest presenters. Tom has taught dozens of design courses and is the
author of Greenward, Ho! An Ecological Approach to Sustainable Health.

ten years now in the Little Applegate Valley. Tom has been teaching and
