Permaculture is an exploration of how humans can
exist on this planet and support their needs
indefinately and without harm. The intention for
this course is to facilitate a systems approach to
thinking about different issues, encouraging care for
the earth and its inhabitants as a diverse community.
This course will provide a comprehensive overview of
permaculture techniques and strategies that one

their career. There will be suggested readings and we
will visit and network with others locally using
permaculture principles in their lives and careers.
