READING YOUR LANDSCAPE:
A Practical Introduction to Permaculture

June 12 – 14, 2015
Cayuta Sun Farm, Catharine NY
(near Ithaca and Watkins Glen)

with Becky Bowen, Michael Burns, Jake Maher Delisle, Steve Gabriel and other 
local practitioners

Try practical permaculture skills through hands-on design work in a two-day 
immersion course. Join a weekend-long, off-grid permaculture camp while 
learning from local practitioners and experts.

Practice ecological design skills that you will be able to immediately apply to 
your own endeavors. Design your own site or practice on a small woodland 
permaculture farm.

Acquire basic literacy in the potential for practicing permaculture in your 
life. Beginners are introduced to basic permaculture principles, plus easy 
assessment and design methods. This weekend get-away is ideal for those who may 
not have a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC), have limited time, and are 
looking for an affordable way to learn.

Experienced practitioners and design course graduates will appreciate this as a 
quick and fun permaculture practicum to refresh and inspire their work. Our 
assessment and design-focused approach may help you work through ongoing 
challenges or benefit from the different perspectives and experiences our 
facilitators’ offer.

Sliding scale tuition begins at $250 and includes instruction, camping, and two 
days of breakfast and lunch.
