(FWD) Umass, Amherst Summer and Fall Permaculture Courses

Please help me spread the word about the Summer design course! A great
opportunity to build your portfolio and gain skills in permaculture design
by touring existing projects and then working as a team to design a
permaculture homestead.  This course is open to the public through
continuing education and runs Tuesday and Thursday nights 6:30-8:30 July
9th -August 15th with field trips on Saturday July 13th, 17th and August
10th.

For more information and to sign up for the course go to:

This three-credit course includes in-class lectures, field trips, design
studio and a hands-on field component, to offer students a deepened
practice in permaculture design process and techniques. The course
culminates with students completing their own permaculture design for a
site in the pioneer valley.  The framework behind the theory and practice
of permaculture is rooted in the observation of natural systems. By
observing key ecological relationships, we can mimic and apply these
beneficial relationships in the design of systems that serve humans while
helping to regenerate the natural world. This course trains students as
critical thinkers, observers, and analysts of the world(s) around them, and
provides tools needed to design for positive change.

Successful completion of this course and PLSOILIN 197G in the fall semester
will enable students to be eligible for the internationally recognized
permaculture design certificate.
