Design & Mapping Tour of GreenFleece Farm

Learn about integrating permaculture ethics, principles & design elements in our work with the land in order to expand habitat diversity, support human and animal life and plan for the future. Deb Ganster, certified Permaculture Designer, will discuss how to creatively work with a site and implement the basics of permaculture-informed design as an ongoing process as we tour GreenFleece Farm, her 40 acre off grid farm established in 1995.

You will get an overview of the design process, including basemapping, with this site as an example. Deb sees permaculture is an experience, so physically experiencing a balanced system while also noting problems and challenges can offer deeper integration of this system of design. Handouts also provided for further reflection.
