This Permaculture Design Certification Course in Western Massachusetts offers a unique opportunity for students to gain direct permaculture design experience through a guided design practice, alongside leading permaculturists from the northeast. We will visit numerous well-established permaculture demonstration sites to study thriving ecosystems, water harvesting, community structures, natural buildings, energy efficiency, and more. This course is designed for you to gather many lessons, resources, techniques, and inspirations that you can directly apply back home.
A Permaculture Design Certificate signifies that one has completed a 72 hour design course, a study of the ethics, principles, and design practice of Permaculture. It means the holder of the certificate holds applied permaculture experience and a profound toolbox of permaculture techniques, strategies, solutions, resources, and skills. (Our course qualifies for 3 college credits from UMASS Amherst, available to all students who are enrolled in the 5 College Consortium.)
