EXEMPTION DECLARATION FORM (2)
Paul Wheaton of permies.com invited me to be a guest instructor at the upcoming Homesteaders Permaculture Design Course (PDC) he is hosting in Missoula, MT. I will be speaking on pasture management, rotational grazing, managing the abundance of the homestead harvest, etc. If you’ve been thinking about taking a PDC, you should consider attending this event. Alan Booker is the lead instructor and is a really switched-on permaculturist.
