The Cornell University College of Agriculture & Life Sciences

along with the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute (FLPCI)

offer as part of an online Permaculture Design Certificate course:

Permaculture Design: Ecosystem Mimicry
January 16 – March 2, 2017


Enrollment is now open for “Permaculture Design: Ecosystem Mimicry.”

The class can be taken as a stand-alone course or as one of three in a series offered in permaculture design leading to a Permaculture Design Certificate.

Michael Burns, a cofounder of FLPCI, will be the course instructor for this opportunity based on the permaculture curriculum and activities developed by the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute over the past decade.

This program provides rigorous, evidence-based instruction in the principles and methods of permaculture design based on the internationally recognized curriculum.

There are just a few weeks left to sign up. With only 15 participants per course, enrollment frequently sells out.

FLPCI's renowned design certificate course immerses students in over 84 hours of instruction. Our rigorous design practicum empowers you to design using the principles and methods of permaculture.

Our teachers, including guest speakers, are working experts in land use, design, research, governance, business and teaching. Michael Burns, Rafter Sass Ferguson, Steve Gabriel, and Karryn Olson-Ramanujan bring thousands of hours of permaculture teaching experience to people of all backgrounds and experiences.

Our curriculum, refined over nine years and eleven certificate courses, continues to improve its integrity and relevance through student feedback, our assessment of their design work, and the latest research. Our teaching methods incorporate design work on real sites and hands-on experience with strategies like hot composting, mushroom inoculation, marking contours, and the siting of buildings and ponds on the landscape. Our field trips to Finger Lakes area urban, farm, and homestead demonstration sites give students real life examples of the success and challenges of applied permaculture design.

Our alumni repeatedly describe their 15 days of permaculture immersion as a paradigm-shifting, inspirational opportunity to reevaluate the systems and designs of their work, homes, and community projects. They appreciate the chance to study permaculture in our temporary learning community at a small off-grid farm. Graduates leave with new skills as well as a new network of colleagues that support their work creating regenerative livelihoods and homes.
