Observation and Mapping Weekend

Observation and mapping are two key elements of creating a good design , this course is a hands-on approach to getting comfortable and confident trying out different tools for land-based design

Set in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside at Applewood Permaculture Centre this hands-on training has been developed to assist participants in the early stages of any design process - the observation and survey of a site and its steward. While a few days is limited time to fully observe a site, much can still be learned by being present on a piece of land, examining and trying out different observation and mapping tools, and sharing experiences. This interactive training takes participants through hands-on, land-based design activities on a real site, bringing permaculture theory to life.
