Sustainable
Land Use Course |
Ragmans Lane Farm, Gloucestershire 12th Jan – 19th March 2009 |
A unique course |
This
course is designed both for people who are working with the land and those
who intend to, whether as gardeners, smallholders, farmers, foresters,
landscapers or in other land-based occupations. No
previous knowledge is required, but students with previous training or
experience have found the course offers many new insights and perspectives
which are not obtainable from more conventional courses. The emphasis
is on how we can work in harmony with natural cycles.
A wide range of teaching methods is used, including: talks, slide shows,
discussions, small-group work, and observation and design exercises on
the land. An extensive
library is available for students' use. There is an outdoor session almost every day. These include the observation and design exercises and there is a practical work session once a week. But most of the teaching is indoors. | ![]() FREE BOOK! Every course participant receives a free copy of Patrick's major permaculture book, The Earth Care Manual. You can order your copy in advance or receive it on the course. (See below.) |
