Gain hands on experience in sustainable land management practices!
Our upcoming Swale Building and Permaculture Workshop is designed to provide participants with hands-on experience in sustainable land management practices. Swales are shallow, broad, and vegetated channels that help manage water runoff, reduce erosion, and promote the infiltration of water into the soil.
Workshop Highlights:
• Understanding Swales: Learn the fundamentals of swale design and how they function to capture and store water, enhancing soil moisture and supporting plant growth.
• Practical Application: Engage in the step-by-step process of planning and constructing swales, including site assessment, contour mapping, and the use of appropriate tools and materials.
• Permaculture Principles: Explore the core ethics and principles of permaculture, focusing on creating self-sustaining ecosystems that work in harmony with nature.
• Design Integration: Discover how to incorporate swales into broader permaculture designs to improve water management, soil health, and biodiversity on your property.
