In the Permaculture Program students learn how to apply ecological, social and environmental principles, tools and techniques to design regenerative landscapes that restore our ecology and build resiliency in the face of global change. This program covers the permaculture design process and methodology along with hands-on ecological landscaping tools and techniques necessary to design, build and maintain regenerative landscapes. These tools and their practical application result in landscapes that are locally sustainable, require reduced inputs, lower costs, build food security and resilience for future climate and ecological imbalance. The successful student receives an ecological landscape certificate granted by the State of California.
