>Permaculture Design Course
>
>with Bill Mollison 4th - 18th May 2001
>
>What is Permaculture?
>
>Permaculture is an holistic approach to land use design, based on ecological
>principles and patterns. Permaculture aims to create stable, productive
>systems that provide for human needs, harmoniously integrating the land with
>people. The ecological processes of plants, animals, water, weather and
>nutrient cycles are integrated with the human needs and technologies for
>food, energy, shelter and infrastructure. Elements in a system are viewed in
>relationship with other elements, and the outputs of one element become the
>inputs of another.
>
>Within a Permaculture system, work is minimised, "wastes" become resources,
>productivity and yields increase, and the environment is restored.
>
>Permaculture principles can be applied to any environment, at any scale -
>from dense urban settlements to individual homes, from farms to entire
>regions.
>
>Who would benefit from a Permaculture Design Course ?
>
>Since the first Permaculture Design Course was offered in 1972, people from
>widely diverse backgrounds and interests have graduated. Farmers, ranchers,
>landowners, foresters, landscape designers, architects, builders, planners,
>developers, accountants, financiers, bankers, publishers, attorneys, aid
>workers, educators, environmentalists and students have all brought
>Permaculture techniques into their homes, businesses and communities.
>
>This course is for anyone interested in gaining practical skills and
>perspective for sustainable living and productivity.
>
>During this two week residential course, you will gain an understanding of
>Permaculture theory, building your knowledge of all the necessary aspects to
>become fully conversant with Permaculture design. By the end of the course,
>you will be able to confidently create your first Permaculture design plan.

>Bill Mollison
>
>Founder and director of the Permaculture Institute, Bill is the most
>experienced Permaculture teacher and designer today. He has taught and
>developed projects from the Arctic through Sub-tropics and Equatorial
>regions of the planet. There are few countries left in the world where he
>has not personally planted the seeds of Permaculture. The Peoples of the
>Pacific, south East Asia, South Africa and seven Amazonian language groups
>have been inspired by and acted on his teachings, embracing Permaculture as
>a dynamic tool. He has also given Courses in the drylands and developed
>projects with Native Americans, Australian Aboriginals, tribal women of the
>Deccan, Kalahari, San groups and Pima people of the Sonora. In the USA,
>Europe and Scandinavia, Bill has lectured and helped to develop ecological
>designs for urban and rural properties, including many city-farms and CSA s
>(Community Supported Agriculture).
>
>Bill Mollison has been vitally concerned with the environment for over 40
>years. His many roles included: scientist, naturalist and University
>professor. Later he became a vigorous campaigner against environmental
>exploitation which lead him to develop Permaculture as a positive solution.
>Since then, Bill has devoted his energies towards designing sustainable
>systems, writing books and articles on Permaculture, and most importantly
>teaching.
>
>Permaculture now laps the globe, resulting in hundreds of independent
>associations involved in the areas of sustainable agriculture,
>reforestation, education and village economics. His enduring commitment and
>endless enthusiasm continues as the span and scope of Permaculture broadens.
>True to his vision, throughout the world, Permaculture is becoming an
>everyday part of life.
>
>Lisa Mollison
>
>Lisa is co-director of the Permaculture Institute and Tagari Publications.
>Lisa was raised on a California rice farm owned by her family for four
>generations. She worked over a decade in commercial agriculture and learned
>first hand the destructive legacy of chemical farming. In 1992, Lisa set out
>to promote sustainable agriculture on a personal scale and founded the
>business, Foodscapes organic. During five years of operation, Foodscapes
>installed over 300 home gardens and back-yard mini-farms. She is experienced
>in business management, surveying and excavation, soil analysis, broad scale
>small grain production and landscape contracting.
>
>Darren Doherty

>Darren J. Doherty is a fifth-generation Bendigonean (from Bendigo, in
>rural Victoria, Australia) committed to Permaculture based sustainable
>development. Growing up on the land, becoming a Chef, then an Organic
>Produce Retailer and Certified Organic Market Gardener has provided Darren
>with a framework of uniquely combined experience as a new generation
>Permaculture Consultant. At the age of 25, in 1993, Darren operated
>Permaculture Design Services Bendigo, and then in 1997 initialised Australia
>Felix Permaculture. He has been involved in the design and development of
>over 700 rural Australian properties, particularly in cool temperate,
>Mediterranean and semi-arid climate zones. Continually networking and
>educating himself, Darren is respected in Australia as one of the most
