Restoring Nature

This is the third set of classes in the Permaculture Series.  The first session of three focuses on the various components of nature:  trees and forests, prairies and wetlands, Texas ecosystems, and the local bioregional organizations that work to support them.  Our second class is at a natural area. It examines some of the threats to our world and local ecosystems, goes over the basic ideas of ecology, and then spends the bulk of the day learning how to observe nature using permaculture perspective.  The last session will be at a local nature area and will be devoted to hands-on restoring a habitat feature. Restoring Nature is one of the four classes in the permaculture design certificate course, and is open to anyone who has completed An Introduction to Permaculture and Basics of Permaculture.  Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credit is available.

 

NOTE:  This is one of the four permaculture courses that lead to a permaculture designer's certificate. Introduction to Permaculture and Basics of Permaculture classes are a prerequisite to this class.

 

Classes taught by The Permaculture Guild of Houston.
