   Please join us for an evening with the colorful and dynamic permaculture icon Paul Wheaton as he talks about one of his favorite subjects, Integrating Animals in Permaculture Systems, on Wednesday, September 5, 7-9:30 pm.  Permaculture offers powerful tools for the design of regenerative systems, with fair ways to provide food, energy, and human livelihoods, while sharing the planet with the rest of nature.  In Permaculture design, animals are considered a critical component of any sustainable system.

    Paul starts with chickens, because they are such a common, entry-level livestock to keep, thoroughly explaining the pros and cons and needs not always considered.  With every type of animal system, from chickens to turkeys, goats to cattle, Paul focuses on:

    * the healthiest way to grow each breed according to its unique needs
    * how to grow all or most of the feed needed
    * how to minimize predator problems
    * how properly managed livestock and integrated animal systems enhance your backyard gardens and small farms, or integrated systems of agriculture.

     Paul Wheaton is a software engineer turned permaculture enthusiast, who in his own words, is currently "the tyrannical ruler" of two on-line communities, one about software engineering, and the other, Permies.com, now the largest permaculture website forum on the internet.  Paul regularly uploads permaculture articles, videos & podcasts to promote and share his permaculture passion to the largest audience possible.  As a certified master gardener and a certified permaculture designer, Paul Wheaton gardens, farms and lives what he preaches in Missoula, Montana.

    The evening talk takes place on Wednesday, Sept 5, 7pm-9:30pm at the Santa Barbara Central Library, Faulkner Gallery, 40 East Anapamu Street, SB, 93101. $5 suggested donation. No reservations required.  More info: (805)962-2571, Margie@sbpermaculture.org
