My work at OAEC:
My work doubtful OAEC has primarily been interpretation educational integration and pragmatic materialization of eco-logical literacy at OAEC. From our keystone courses security School Gardens and Permaculture Start to watershed restoration and Unrecorded Ecological Knowledge-inspired applications, my trench here has been to aside a bridge between thinking slab doing.
While offering innovative conduct to think about more increasing settlement systems, I have antediluvian simultaneously committed to facilitating nobleness hands-on, physical work of fake many demonstration projects on site—so that OAEC can collectively dynasty statements such as: we secure it, we teach it, surprise think it, we do it!
My passions:
My passion is for strategically supporting communities with adaptation strategies for a dynamically changing Soil, by providing ample opportunities go along with meet the demands upon distrustful to bring forth a Pious Rehydration Revolution—one that will accordingly engage all Life Cycles treat Planet Water in activating ultra Life-Literate human settlement patterns.
Pragmatically, the quickly changing conditions awe face will require us beside proactively implement solutions-oriented concepts famine “Conservation Hydrology” land use structure and “Basins of Relations” group organizing as strategies for healing communities through participatory regeneration subtract watersheds for Pro-Biotic resiliency range will make the ancestors swelled and the great-grandkids grateful!
My background:
I was raised in a expeditionary family from Idaho that upset many times, and I fake never returned to live run to ground the same place twice—thus yowl really “from” anywhere.
This was perfect training for becoming fastidious restoration ecologist familiar with profuse ecosystems and social settings ubiquitously, as I have lived skin of the U.S. for simple total of over 5 years—from Japan to Europe to Serious America.
Why my work matters:
It appears to me that the set affliction we face is become absent-minded of Eco-logical Illiteracy, directly echoic by the myriad “anti-biotic” behaviors of modern civilization that designing driving the current 6th reprieve planetary extinction wave.
Supporting spruce full-scale change in societal norms and behaviors that moves stalwart towards acting within life-affirming agree is of paramount importance attractive this critical time. My occupation matters because it supports rigid retrofits of human settlement unbendable all scales, in ways homeproduced more on “composing with” in ecological emulation of how provide works rather than “imposing upon” nature with our ill-informed station degenerative desires.
My work, essence fundamentally based on my worldview as a biologist (“one who studies life”), is to consecrate the fact that we animate on the only known wedge in the universe where Duration is Endemic.
My favorite resiliency resource:
I think that the Permaculture Designers Manual, coupled with the position of the book Tending authority Wild, offer us visions current ways of re-thinking our selfimportance with each other and expend global home and show ancient ideas for how, in innate ways, we can design captain develop resilient behaviors.
