Social Forestry; Advanced Permaculture Course January 16-21 in Southern Oregon

Social Forestry, Advanced Permaculture Course with Tom Ward
This is a 6 day course at Wolf Gulch in Southern Oregon

Social Forestry connects villages and communities to their forested water catchment basin. Here in a developed industrial empire, the forests are lonely. We have lost our sense of living with forests as friends. This Social Forestry course will explore reconnecting with forests through ecological knowledge, the use of hand tools and woodscrafts, seasonal festivals and work cycles, childrens’ stories, pilgrimages and stewardship covenants. We will learn ecological assessment, carbon sequestration methods, restoration forestry and the crafts and products that can be enjoyed while we are re-establishing our heart space and wonder in the woods. This is the third year we are offering this fabulous winter experience. You can read more information including student reviews on the website at siskiyoupermaculture.com.
Course Price $550; with early registration $475. Includes camping.
