About [Edit]
Learn about sustainable living for two weeks in a 20-year-old ecologically-focused community in Oregon. This course explores what it means to live sustainably on different scales: as individuals, as a society, and as communities.
The course explores permaculture and sustainable living through different formats, including lectures, discussions, hands-on projects, and field trips. Throughout the course students work in groups on design projects focused on sites at Lost Valley, which provides opportunities to immediately integrate what students are learning. The core permaculture curriculum includes:
* permaculture ethics, principles, & philosophy * reading the landscape * recognizing patterns * “waste” as resources * water on the land: catching, storing, and using rainwater * growing soil * natural building and retrofitting * appropriate technology * transportation and sustainability * producing food in our yards/neighborhoods/communities; harvesting local/wild food and other resources * sustainable economics * “invisible structures” and social sustainability * rural, urban, and suburban applications
