Urban+Farming+-+Perma+Culture

=Urban Farming - Perma Culture=



GOALS:
 * FOR KIDS TO EXPOSED TO NEW THINGS
 * have hands on experience
 * want kids to ask questions and see how things are connected.
 * students to get 2-3 "permie" concepts such as:
 * systems thinking  (everything is connected). Students will understand that the ecological principles- system connectivity. (Wolves video) + Jersey deer debate
 * what is a system? what does it look like?
 * what is biodiversity ? can be people or an ecosystems and biodiversity? what is monoculture?
 * Imbalance in ecosystem--rats, raccoons (no predators)
 * No such thing as ‘away’
 * storm water management- rain floods about subway disruption

Monday: Rooftop meet- before and after observations Morning: Hogshead Ranch (healthy soil, elements of healthy farm, ) Lunch: at school Afternoon: Intro to permaculture : There is no waster; apply self regulation & accept feedback; integrate rather than segregate; + rainwater management  <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 24px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tuesday: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Morning: Randall’s Island <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Lunch: bag lunches <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Afternoon: Connectedness--wolves video, deer, imbalance in ecosystem > >
