Knowledge filled meaningful
experience is what is at store at this autumn’s
earthworks course in Dallas, TX. School of
Permaculture has teamed up with Divine Kinship (a
non profit) to build a food forest for the homeless right here in South Dallas.
We have been granted
land use over a very beautitul piece of land in the south side of Dallas, TX. We will have an excavator on site so you can see close up how to make swales in real life application with larger equipment. (same principles can used used with a shovel in your backyard or with 50 excavators and bulldozers on 5000 acres of land)
You will learn and get very in depth understanding of earthworks,
water, and animals systems in
permaculture. We will split the days up into “on site evaluation and hands on training” and “classroom learning” which consists of the following:
-Principles and Design
-Climate effects on different earthwork features
-Map allocation
-Animal Integration
-Soil Conditioning
-Types of earthworks
-Soakage systems
-Roadage and access
-Earthwork features and connetions
-Machinery and operators
-Installation process
-Surveying, marking, and pegging sites
Each day will start at 9:00 am and conclude at 5:00 pm with your certification being presented at the end of the course.
Camping is allowed on site and there are a number of hotels nearby if you need accommodations.
