A 3-day participatory workshop, including practical applications of Traditional Ecological Knowledge, Restoration Forestry, Ecological Woodlot Stewardship, Permaculture, Small Diameter Utilization & Natural Building Friday, May 4 through Sunday, May 6, 2007 White Oak Farm in Williams, Oregon.

Discover the interface among Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), restoration forestry practices, permaculture principles, byproduct utilization and natural building. Leading indigenous cultural practitioners, restoration ecologists, scientists and permaculture designers will share valuable information about traditional ecological practices, local ecology and current restoration forestry principles. Explore Native American ecological techniques for cultivating viable plant communities for use as food, basketry and weaving materials. Stewarding the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion today can incorporate lessons from indigenous peoples’ use of fire, and the role that fire played in maintaining wildlife habitat. Practical hands-on experiences in the forest, woodlands and fields will help restore and enhance forest and woodland resiliency, species diversity, and site productivity. Join us to share ideas and skills that can be applied to tending your own land in this fire-adapted ecosystem.
