Goulburn Wetlands Restoration

Project Type

Urban, Intentional Communities, Community, School Projects, Demonstration, Educational, Financial Economic, Legal, Political

Project Summary

A Wetlands Restoration may sound unusual for a Permaculture Project, it is. But if we are to regreen our civilisation, Permaculture people need to fully engage with the areas of business, government and sustainable economic development. This is one of my community projects to do just that. In restoring the river environment, with an economic focus, we are moving the whole community towards sustainable living through education, example and community engagment and ownership. This is a collaborative project between The Goulburn Group, Goulburn Mulwaree Council, the community and local professionals and businesses For more details see http://bit.ly/TheGoulburnGroup My PowerPoint slideshow of the project can be downloaded from http://bit.ly/SacredEarthWorksSlideShows

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

pri_teacher

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
