The Indigenous Permaculture Certificate program will take place
from Apr. 12-May 3, 2009.
The
certificate training is 80 hours of class and field work in
traditional farming, community food security, and appropriate
technology, and includes practices in the field. Course
materials will be provided and lunches are potluck. We are
open to all, and particularly encourage youth aged 15-18, Latinos,
low-income, and the Native American communities to
participate.
Apr. 12-19 will
be held in the SF Bay Area, primarily Oakland, San Francisco, and
Berkeley. May 1-3 will be held in the Trinity River/Hoopa Valley
watershed. More details are below.
To receive
certification, participants must attend all class meetings and
participate in a final group project. Participants must be
prepared to do between three to six hours of work outside of
class each week. We can help participants find low-cost
lodging, if needed.
The final
project is a two year commitment utilizing the teachings of
Indigenous Permaculture within the community. A group
presentation is also required at the end of the course to discuss
the final project.
Please contact
us by March 25th if you are interested in participating.
