• Get closer to wildlife
• Learn about ecology and animal behavior
• Build a meaningful connection to nature, yourself and others
• Get to know the most common local birds and their voices in a fun, meaningful way

* Real birds may not be advertising Wilderness Within

Wild Crafting Series

Apr 13 2008 - 5:00pm

OFFERED: March - November 2008
LOCATION: Commonweal Garden
INSTRUCTOR: Matt Berry

Wildcrafting provides a unique bridge between Permaculture and Nature Awareness. Matt Berry, who has been practicing and teaching primitive skills and nature awareness for over a decade, blends his passion and expertise in field biology, primitive skills, horticulture and Permaculture. After spending some time with Matt, you may never look at the weeds in the corner of your garden or the oak trees in your neighborhood the same way again!

This year, we offer a series of seasonal Wild Food Walks, as well as day long and weekend skill intensives. These classes will not only help to build your wildcrafting skills, but they will also deepen your connection with the natural world.

Classes are intended for adults, however children are welcome with a registered parent.

Here's a great opportunity if you've been interested in visiting Commonweal Garden and learning more about Permaculture.

 James Stark will educate and inspire as he takes you through our 17-acre farm nestled on the edge of Pt Reyes National Park. He will guide you through features like our on-contour production garden, cob constructions, chickens and goats, heirloom orchard, grey water systems, passive solar camp showers, production greenhouse, yurt classroom, and more.

As you tour these features, James will highlight how permaculture principals can be applied in your own life to create sustainable and regenerative home and community environments.
