Project Summary

Permaculture and Regenerative Land Management Education

Project Description

One of my goals is to empower people and communities to effect changes in their lifestyles and land uses that regenerate the earth and build resilient communities. 

Through the RT Permaculture project, I work with individuals, NGOs, businesses and other groups to bring quality education and resources to facilitate these changes at a local level. 

I am based in the hot-cold desert in Reno, NV, USA, and am willing to travel to provide courses and implement hands-on workshops that focus on getting permaculture practices up and running on the ground. 

I strive to work in partnership with other teachers and local groups to provide well rounded and locally appropriate trainings including but not limited to Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) courses.

I have worked and taught in a diversity of locations including Hawai'i, Haiti, New Mexico, California, Minnesota, Montana, and Oregon.

Please contact me if you are interested in collaborating.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
