& Surfers Without Borders Presents:
Integrating Animals in
Permaculture Systems:
Wednesday Sept 5, 2012
7-9:30pm, $5 suggested donation
Santa Barbara Central Library, Faulkner Gallery
Please join us for an evening with the colorful
and dynamic permaculture icon Paul Wheaton as he talks about one of his
favorite subjects, Integrating Animals in Permaculture Systems, on
Wednesday, September 5, 7-9:30 pm. Permaculture offers powerful
tools for the design of regenerative systems, with fair ways to provide
food, energy, and human livelihoods, while sharing the planet with the
rest of nature. In Permaculture design, animals are considered a
critical component of any sustainable system.
Paul starts with chickens, because they are such a
common, entry-level livestock to keep, thoroughly explaining the pros and
cons and needs not always considered. With every type of animal
system, from chickens to turkeys, goats to cattle, Paul focuses
on:
* the healthiest way to grow each breed according to
its unique needs
* how to grow all or most of the feed needed
* how to minimize predator problems
* how properly managed livestock and integrated animal
systems enhance your backyard gardens and small farms, or integrated
systems of agriculture.
Paul Wheaton is a software engineer turned
permaculture enthusiast, who in his own words, is currently "the
tyrannical ruler" of two on-line communities, one about software
engineering, and the other, Permies.com, now the largest
permaculture website forum on the internet. Paul regularly uploads
permaculture articles, videos & podcasts to promote and share his
permaculture passion to the largest audience possible. As a
certified master gardener and a certified permaculture designer, Paul
Wheaton gardens, farms and lives what he preaches in Missoula,
Montana.
The evening talk takes place on Wednesday, Sept 5,
7pm-9:30pm at the Santa Barbara Central Library, Faulkner Gallery, 40
East Anapamu Street, SB, 93101. $5 suggested donation. No reservations
