Join us at Heart-Culture Farm Community in west Eugene for a workshop with Kara Huntermoon to learn about integrating animals into a permaculture system to enhance biodiversity and overall resilience. Participants will gain insights into the world of animal husbandry, integrated pest management (IPM), the ecological benefits of livestock in a permaculture design, and factors to consider for incorporating animals into a system in our local climate. This workshop includes a tour of Heart-Culture farm where participants will get to observe the impressive permaculture food forest and stewarded ecologies that includes pasture, gardens, wetlands, and a diverse & abundant orchard.
