Ecology and Permaculture
Join Marisha Auerbach and Tao Orion for an exploration of the science of ecology as it relates to Permaculture systems. Together, we will look at the intrinsic characteristics of ecosystems, including the other species that reside in our home habitats, to highlight how these relationships bring stability and resilience. After the workshop, you will be able to bring these insights home to help you enhance the quality of your permaculture designs and your care for your landscape.
Topics include:
What is Ecology
Succession
Ecological Functions & Services
Observation Practice
Bird Language
Phenology
Food Webs
Restoration
Integration in Permaculture Systems
