(projects i'm involved in)
Born in NZ, trained in NZ and Australia, living in Ecuador more than 20 years. Running Rio Muchacho Organic farm with my partner, we founded and support Rio Muchacho Ambiental School, which provides ecological education to community children. Rio Muchacho farm hosts scores of volunteers each year, learning about the importance of Permaculture, sustainable agriculture and community interaction. We run three one month "hands on" Permaculture and Sustainable Agriculture courses each year in May, August and November. We also run short courses for specialized groups and provide ecological training to local "campesino" groups drawn from interested communities. A favourite destination for many Ecuadorian Universities training ecologists, agriculturists, and agro-tourism students. Rio Muchacho was selected by National Geographic as one of the 8 favourite destinations in Ecuador.
The next one month course begins on August 5th. At Rio Muchacho Organic Farm
