Social Forestry, Advanced
Permaculture Course
6 day certificate course
February 2-7, 2015
The 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. 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. 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. Join us for underburning, forest management, coppicing, basketry and more at this hands on course.
This 6 day course is held at Wolf Gulch Farm in the Little Applegate area of Southern Oregon. Be sure to read the Logistics section on our website when considering this winter course. Course fee $550 includes camping. Just 4 spaces left as of January 7th, so register now.
