An introductory course to urban permaculture
While you won't be doing push-ups, we will explore the basics of permaculture as applied to the urban setting, and in particular the Hayes Valley Farm site. This introductory class based on Permaculture theory and priciples could quite possible be one of the most important classes you take, because we begin to connect all the disparate dots together to form the kind of solutions everyone is looking for in order to pave a path for a sustainable community and resilient future.
This three hour class is open to everyone and will start ay 6:00pm sharp. Please try to arrive between 5:30 pm and 5:45 pm if you want to ensure you are on time.
Instructors: David McConville and David Stockhausen
Dave McConville
While attending a visioning workshop 3 years ago, Dave McConville was introduced to permaculture and has been studying, teaching and practicing it ever since. After taking his first Permaculture Design Course and Permacutlure Teacher Training Course he spent time designing and working on his 1/3rd of an acre urban lot back in NH. Interested in continuing to learn he has taken various workshops on topics such as Urban Permaculture, Food Forests and Homescale Permaculture. Since moving to SF last fall he’s become a member of the SF Permaculture Guild, a core volunteer at Hayes Valley Farm, organizer of SF Glean and involved with Transition SF.
David Stockhausen
After working on small farms in Vermont, David Stockhausen moved to San Francisco in 2006 with hopes of urbanizing his skills through engaging more in urban agriculture. After successfully running an urban farming business out of Mission backyards, he sought to expand his understanding of creating sustainable food systems through Permaculture. After taking a PDC with UPISF, he kicked his learning into high gear as an intern and later as a co-teacher with Geoff Lawton at the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia. David loves to teach, share and laugh. Join him to laugh, learn and live a better future.
