The Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute (FLPCI) invites you to join
its 2009
Summer Permaculture Design Course running from July 24 through August

This is our seventh internationally recognized certification course
training
people of all backgrounds to mimic natural patterns and principles in
their
yards, on their land, and in their homes and businesses.
This affordable course highlights hands-on learning in the beautiful
rural
Cayuta Lake Valley. The class equips students with the knowledge of
whole
systems and the principles, techniques, and challenges of permaculture
as a
system of sustainable design. Our learning community explore topics
such as
soil regeneration, water conservation, building ponds and swales,
managing
woodlots, building natural and efficient homes, utilizing renewable
energy,
and designing gardens.
We teach these topics though presentations, case studies, and student
