         Permaculture seeks to meet basic human needs while regenerating and sustaining natural systems.  It is a design system rooted firmly in applied ecology, proven sustainable practices, and observation of living systems.

        In an evening talk on Friday, February 26, 6:30 -9 pm, at the Fe Bland Auditorium SBCC West Campus, David White will share how Permaculture provides us with the tools to make our lifestyle, living space and community part of the solution while maintaining a high quality of life. Join David White as he shares the concepts of permaculture for large and small landscapes, and describes what makes permaculture design unique.

        David White received his BA in Biological Science and PhD in Medicine at the Edinburgh University. He performed post doctoral research at Cornell Medical School before moving to Ojai California, where he helped run an organic farm and became involved in many environmental organizations including Keep the Sespe Wild.  He is currently the executive director of the Center for Regenerative Agriculture (www.ojaicra.org) in Ojai CA.  He studied Permaculture with Bill Mollison in 1997, and has been introducing permaculture into classrooms, curriculums, and his community of Ojai for the last 12 years.
