Residential Permaculture Design

 


Residential Permaculture Design

­

When rainwater hits your roof what happens to it? Join Dr. Roslynn Brain McCann on a journey that will help you think through your home landscape design from an integrated, ecological - or permaculture - lens, starting at the top (your roof). We will explore ways to slow, spread, sink, and store rainwater and greywater on the landscape, and to use that water to grow perennial edible, pollinator attracting, soil stabilizing, nutrient accumulating, and nitrogen fixing plants. Ideally, you will leave with the intention to apply at least one new tool or technique to increase the water and ecological resilience of your own landscape.

Our presenter, Dr. Roslynn Brain McCann is an Extension Specialist at Utah State University. She uses conservation theory, communication techniques, and social marketing tools to foster positive environmental behaviors in the areas of land, air, food, water and energy conservation. She is also the coordinator for Utah Farm-Chef-Fork, the USU Permaculture Initiative, and Sustainable You! kids’ camps.

Permaculture Workshop at NAU

Please consider joining us for a weekend-long workshop on permaculture, or "permanent agriculture/permanent culture." While permaculture encompasses a large range of topics (social, ecological) we will be focusing mostly on the agricultural side of things. This course will also have a strong emphasis on Indigenous farming. 

This class will include guest lectures from area permaculturists:
Lilian Hill, Hopi Tutskwa Institute
Jeff Meilander, Flagstaff EcoRanch
Scott Ross, Parks PermaFarm

This class takes place from 2-5 on September 7th, 9-4 Saturday the 8th, and 9-4 Sunday the 9th. Course readings and assignments are available online, and will be made available to community members by email as well.
This course is available for graduate-level credit OR non-credit to the community for a workshop fee of $125.
To register please email Ginger.Christenson@nau.edu. Questions about the actual workshop? Call Rosemary Logan: 928-853-4333.
