This past June we hosted Darren Doherty, a permaculture teacher and keyline designer from Australia. He is coming back through New York and is offering a FREE pasture walk on September 14, followed by a two-day course covering the basics of keyline, a design system for land use planning which focuses on water harvesting and healthy soil conditioning.
