Aprovecho Facilitates Permaculture Design Course with the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
This winter, we embarked on an exciting and unique collaboration with the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde. Tao Orion and Abel Kloster, Lead Instructors in Aprovecho’s Permaculture Design Certification Program, are facilitating a PDC in Grand Ronde.
The Grand Ronde Permaculture Course is an exciting confluence of traditional ecological knowledge and Permaculture design. The course will bring together a wide array of people involved in both indigenous land management and Permaculture. Throughout the program, course participants will be engaged in the design of a 9 acre site that has been approved by the Tribe to serve as a community farm and educational center. The local residents will have the opportunity to be involved in the design and planning for a community resource from the ground up and will be able to shape its purpose to meet the specific needs of the local community.
The course takes place every Saturday from 9-6 in Grand Ronde. The students will present their design to the Tribal Council in early April. Please feel free to contact tao@aprovecho.net for more information.
