         Permaculture seeks to meet basic human needs while 
regenerating and sustaining natural systems.  It is a design system 
rooted firmly in applied ecology, proven sustainable practices, and 
observation of living systems.

         In an evening talk on Friday, February 26, 6:30 -9 pm, at 
the Fe Bland Auditorium SBCC West Campus, David White will share how 
Permaculture provides us with the tools to make our lifestyle, living 
space and community part of the solution while maintaining a high 
quality of life. Join David White as he shares the concepts of 
permaculture for large and small landscapes, and describes what makes 
permaculture design unique.

         David White received his BA in Biological Science and PhD in 
Medicine at the Edinburgh University. He performed post doctoral 
research at Cornell Medical School before moving to Ojai California, 
where he helped run an organic farm and became involved in many 
environmental organizations including Keep the Sespe Wild.  He is 
currently the executive director of the Center for Regenerative 
Agriculture (www.ojaicra.org) in Ojai CA.  He studied Permaculture 
with Bill Mollison in 1997, and has been introducing permaculture 
into classrooms, curriculums, and his community of Ojai for the last 
12 years.
