Understanding how water flows and where it goes in its travels throughout our landscapes and atmosphere is a crucial part of supporting thriving ecosystems and feeling more connected to the processes that sustain us. In this class, we'll be doing hands-on work to help deepen our understanding of the hydrologic cycle. We'll also be learning about how water is absorbed and infiltrates into a landscape, and how to sink and spread water to where it is needed.

The format of this class will include some classroom time, but there will be lots of walking to explore various ways that water interacts under varied circumstances. We will be discussing problem solving, management techniques, and ways to optimize water storage and flow to meet specific needs on the landscape. Please bring your own lunch and water bottle, a notebook, something to write with, warm layers, and durable shoes or boots. We will be providing light snacks, water, coffee, and tea.

* This class is mandatory if you are taking the permaculture design course.

This class counts toward the permaculture design certification, if you have signed up to take the PDC. There are 8 PDC credit hours given for attending this class.

All classes are offered on a sliding scale pricing model; please pay at the rate that is within the means of your lived reality. If you are financially comfortable, we invite you to pay at the higher rate to support our efforts growing this vision. If you are coming from experience with structural marginalization or other economically-challenging circumstances, we invite you to pay at the lowest end of the sliding scale or to reach out to inquire about work trade opportunities.
