Subject: *** ANNOUNCEMENT *** EARTHCLUB ACQUIRES NEW ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS
To: Scott Powell - CEO EarthClub <scott@earthclubstore.com>
EarthClub is very proud to announce that world renowned
biologists/ecologists Brock Dolman and Kendall Dunnigan of the Occidental Arts
& Ecology Center have agreed to join the EarthClub advisory board. Both
Brock and Kendall are visionaries in regards to ecology, sustainability and
Permaculture principles and will be a major asset to our board.
Brock Dolman
Brock Dolman is a Sowing Circle Community member and the Director of
OAEC’s WATER Institute (www.oaecwater.org) and Permaculture Design
Program, and he co-directs the Wildlands Biodiversity Program. He co-instructs
Basins of Relations and permaculture-related courses. Brock also co-manages the
Center’s biodiversity collection, orchards and 70 acres of wildlands.
Living up to his specialized generalist nature, and rekindling the dwindling
art of the peripatetic natural historian, his experience ranges from the study
of wildlife biology, native California botany and watershed ecology, to the
practice of habitat restoration, education about regenerative human settlement
design, ethno-ecology, and ecological literacy activism towards societal
transformation. Brock has spoken at events all over the world as well as the
Bioneers.
Kendall Dunnigan
Kendall is an ecologist, community organizer and teacher. She has over fifteen
years of hands-on experience teaching and facilitating the cultivation of
ecological literacy and community environmental change. For the past decade,
Kendall has been the Director of and faculty member in the B.A. program in
Culture, Ecology and Sustainable Communities at New College of
California’s North Bay Campus in Santa Rosa, California. Her instruction
focuses on environmental sustainability, sustainable agricultural education,
developing school and community gardens, community food security, popular
education, and skill building for democratic engagement.
Kendall is also a co-founder and principle in Permacopia, an ecological design
consulting firm, and is on the faculty at the Occidental Arts and Ecology
Center, where she teaches 2-week Permaculture Design courses. Formerly, Kendall
was the Executive Director of the Berkeley Community Gardening Collaborative,
and an instructor for University of California Extension Service Master
Gardeners Program. She co-authored a book for the American Community Garden
Association called Growing Communities: How to Build Communities Through
Community Gardening. She has worked as a youth outdoor environmental educator
for many years, including at Walker Creek Ranch, Ocean Song Farm and Wilderness
Center, and in Guatemala.
We wish them great success with the EarthClub family!
