PDC at Grand Ronde
In 2012, we were invited by Grand Ronde Tribal members to teach a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) on their reservation in Grand Ronde, OR.
Over the course of 12 weeks, we met with a group of 20 Tribal and community members to cover the curriculum, and design a 9 acre site adjacent to the Tribal Elders’ Housing area. The article below was written in the Oregon Tilth Magazine about the project.
