In the mid 90's Shannyn Sollit produced a series of Permaculture videos
featuring Bill Mollison and some of them are still available and highly
recommended. The two tree talks are still my favorites.
These videos are documents from two design courses taught by Bill
Mollison at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose Texas in
1994 and 1995. They are a definitive selection from our original 16
part series. These tapes bear many viewings and will benefit anyone
who wants to learn how to help regenerate the earth - from back yard
to bio-region. Teachers of permaculture have found these tapes to be
a valuable coaching tool - edited to one hour.
We are open to making special arrangements to print specific titles
for dedicated teachers of Permaculture or for front line nonprofit
permaculture institutes and projects.
The Bill Mollison Permaculture Lecture Series Videotapes are $24 per
tape, plus shipping and handling. Shipping (in the USA) is $4 for
one tape, and $1 for each additional tape.
Understanding patterns in nature has been essential to human
survival since antiquity. This knowledge has been encoded and passed
on through time in many forms of art and craft.
Once one has learned to harvest water, then the real fun begins with
production of the myriad of foods and marketable commodities hosted
by ponds and other water-rich environments.
There are a multitude of ways to harvest, conserve, and utilize
water. These strategies apply to coastal regions or islands with
with zero precipitation, arid lands, as well as to areas with
plentiful seasonal rainfall.
