(projects i'm following)
With a degree in Environmental Studies focused on Land Restoration, minors in biology and philosophy, with years of homesteading in northern California and working in Yosemite Nat’l Park, I came to permaculture with almost all the elements, but no organizing structure or system. From 1996 (when I first heard the word) to 2005 I was first co-director and crew foreman for the restoration crew, than land manager at a wilderness community decimated by wildfire in the mountain wilderness of northern New Mexico. Guided and mentored by Ben Haggard, for ten years I did hands-on permaculture design and installation rebuilding a community/village from the ground up.
For the past 10 years I have been a Permaculture designer, consultant and educator working with private individuals, farmers, villagers and local organizations to create culturally and environmentally appropriate life systems in northern New Mexico, India, Cambodia, and places in between. Part of this work focuses on assisting local and indigenous cultures to preserve traditional knowledge and technologies while adapting to and becoming active members of our rapidly globalizing world. Currently I am working in India, Europe, Hawaii, and one or two new locations each year.
This year we will have the 17th annual PDC in Darjeeling, India, as well as many other courses throughout India Europe and ?, from urban to rural, from 2 day to 3 week. In addition there are many projects I am involved in, from demonstration site development to wetlands restoration. However, it will be the students that embrace permaculture and sustainability using it to build their lives and share with their communities that is the ultimate focus and reward of this work. This past couple of years has seen many Indians stepping up to professional work and teaching permaculture.
