High Sierra
Permaculture (HSP) weaves indigenous wisdom and permaculture principles
into experiential learning opportunities. HSP uses a range of hands-on,
Earth-centered programs to empower participants to create and maintain
economically, ecologically, and culturally sustainable systems.
HSP is creating an educational hub and that will use sustainable principles and practices of permaculture with the collaboration of ranchers, indigenous tribes, and cottage industries to develop collaborative, community-based strategies for effective kinship with the land and economical benefits to the community:
- Honor, preserve and teach indigenous culture and heritage
- Holistic ranching operations as a means to sustain and restore the ecological health of the land, and revitalize watersheds.
- Organic, year-round, locally produced food
- Clean energy
- Renewable fuels
- Sustainable construction and development
- Art and music
- Holistic water cycle and watershed management, protect water as an essential public trust, and protect water quality
- Healthy fish and water life programs
- Revegetation of native vegetation and sustainable forestry
- Wilderness programs
