Hello,

As I mentioned in some earlier posts, I'll be doing some traveling this summer. I'm looking to visit permaculture sites in Morocco as well as the others I've mentioned. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hey James. Actually I do happen to know of one place you might check out and give a look-see for yourself. "Oasis at the Edge of the Sahara." This is a permaculture/adobe block structure restoration project going on in southern Morocco. You might give that a look and reach out if you think it's something that might be up your alley. I will post a workaway link to the site, and you can look them up further and go from there.

I have no connection to these people nor their work, have not been there, but have sort of checked in on the project from time to time online, just to see what in the world is up with them and their work as time goes on, and what progress they have made, etc.

Take care,
Cody

Well James, did you manage to scrounge up any Moroccan-based permaculture or sustainable agriculture operation?

James, did you make it out to any interesting projects in Morocco? Were you able to have a look-see at what is going on at "Oasis at the Edge of the Sahara", now also known as "Bani Hayoune Garden" (same owners/founders, Said and his partner, but different name due to slight change in scope of their work)? If so, I for one would be curious to hear your take on the work out there, and how it's going.

Take care.
