Learn how to assess the land by reading the landscape for clues of its 
natural history and ecological potential. Develop an
understanding of ecological literacy and learn how to design practical 
remedies that encourage biodiversity. These
presenters have a wealth of experience in land restoration, invasive 
species mitigation, permaculture and Native American
forestry management systems. The landscape of the beautiful Tunitas Creek 
Ranch is made up of riparian corridors, steep
slopes, pastures, high ridges, small orchards, and an abundance of native 
vegetation.

URBAN AGRICULTURE
Making the Connection Between Locally Grown Food and Community
With Michael Ableman, Rick Knoll, Will Bullock, Laura Tourte and others
August 21-24, 2003
Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens, Goleta, CA
$325-$375 sliding scale, includes lunch
There is a common misconception that food for our society must be grown far 
from the places where most of us live and
work. This is no longer the case. In the most unlikely of places, under 
some of the most challenging environments, urban
dwellers are establishing economically viable urban farms.
This intensive three-and-a-half-day workshop, presented by Bioneers and the 
Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview
Gardens, will focus on practical strategies for land acquisition, space 
intensive production, soil fertility, propagation of
specialty crops, successful local marketing and developing local food 
systems. Participants will come away with clear
direction and a "tool kit" for how to begin or enhance existing operations.
Saturday evening there will be an optional on-farm dinner to provide an 
opportunity to network and exchange ideas.
