Another suggestion would be to talk with the local earth movers, backhoe operators, etc, especially since you mentioned a pond.

Most of those folks are fairly knowledgeable in assessing the land.

They might not have a permies attitude though I bet they know their stuff.

Thank you Anne

After 23 years living here using organic methods, I have created a little oasis that is attracting a lot of birds. I grow veges and fruit trees, raise chickens, cats and bees.

Hi Penny
i am trying to start a permaculture project little further from barstow (around coleville), and was wondering if it would be ok if reach out (DM) to for some advice

Hello permies
I am looking for some professional help for a permaculture project in high sierra. I am in process of planning and acquiring a smallish (<5acre) piece of land , near coleville CA (or in/around 395). I need some one to help me out with the land assessment , to give some advice if the shortlisted lots are good fit for permaculture project or not. I would need this person's help for longer term as well ,like post land acquisition earth work (swell,pond etc) , plant choices etc. Some one who is near by (high sierra/nevada area) and familiar with local resources will be very helpful.

If you are aware of anyone who can help with this, please share their contact
Much appreciated

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I’ll go through the urban gardening sub forum

Yes I work for a tech company , and recently moved from South Bay / Palo Alto.  I too think this is not exactly Silicon Valley. My local friends corrected me, saying east bay and South Bay are all part of the valley, particularly since most startups are now in sf and Oakland. And the proper South Bay is peninsula,.
Anyhow, glad I moved to east bay, life is little easier here. Son can go to public school. Still learning local customs and values. South Bay was a super life in a  bubble story,

Thank you for the kind words, I’ll post some pics shortly, still learning how to best design, make use of the available land. Have some lawn and other not so effective landscaping elements that I have to think through .

Welcome bob :-)

Not a structural or mechanical engineer, but I can offer my help with anything related to software engineering (development or any integrations )

Hello hivemind ,
This is ranjib from pleasant hill California, here to learn and practice permaculture. Been lurking around this forum for almost a year now, finally decided to join and  get involved. I am trying to exercise some permaculture principles in an 1/4 acre urban plot. Very beginner, just 1 year old home owner, still learning and absorbing
Thank you for all your valuable insights shared in this forum
