Brad Lancaster et ali: Permaculture in Practice, October 2-4, 2009 – Tucson

October 2, 2009 @ 9:00 am - October 4, 2009 @ 5:00 pm

Register for the full 4-weekend Northern Arizona Permaculture Design Course (beginning September 25, and described in full in that date’s event posting on this website) OR just this weekend’s session.
Weekend 2, Oct. 2-4 – Tucson, AZ  “Permaculture in Practice”
In the second weekend session we will look at “Permaculture in Practice” as we tour Tucson with permaculture and water harvesting expert Brad Lancaster.  In this session students will learn the fundamentals of water harvesting, tour co-housing developments, meet with city officials who are applying permaculture in the government, learn about simple neighborhood community co-operative sharing models, backyard Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) examples, and much more. Due to the popularity of this weekend, we are offering the “Permaculture in Practice” session as a single workshop as well.  Course participants will camp near Tucson on Friday and Saturday nights.
Brad Lancaster is the author of the acclaimed “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond” series. He is also a permaculture teacher, designer, consultant, and co-founder of Desert Harvesters (DesertHarvesters.org). He has taught programs for the ECOSA Institute, Columbia University, U of A, Prescott College, Audubon Expeditions and many others. He has helped design integrated water harvesting and permaculture systems for homeowners and gardeners, including the Tucson Audubon Simpson Farm restoration site, and the Milagro and Stone Curves housing developments. He lives in Tucson, Arizona, where he harvests over 100,000 gallons of rainwater a year on his 1/8-acre homesite.
