a project of Cayuga Nature Center
Permaculture Book Club
The Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute will host a roundtable discussion in conjunction with the Ithaca Freeskool twice each month for anyone interested in reading and discussing Introduction to Permaculture by Bill Mollison. Chapters will be read by participants between classes and we'll meet to clarify and discuss the themes, concepts, and applications of this system which seeks to design human habitats that are ecologically sound and economically viable. Facilitators will rotate and include FLPCI teachers, apprentices, local activists, and anyone who wants to lead discussion. We have a few copies of the book but students may need to purchase their own through FLPCI or another source. More info: www.fingerlakespermaculture.org/freeskool. Please sign up ahead of time!
