Wild Dynamic Permaculture at the Wildcraft Forest

Re-Earthing Your Life and Community is about Wild Dynamic Permaculture, which is a unique learning series made available by the Wildcraft Forest School. Participants will be guided through core wildcrafting teachings that they can apply to their approach to permaculture. This series places special emphasis on introducing wild dynamics into urban, suburban, agriculture and forest “edge” areas.
