Student in Practical Sustainability

• Sep 2019 - Jul 2020

Modules include: permaculture design (designing for small and large scale integrated systems), woodland management, organic horticulture, soil & ecology, relocalisation, renewable energy, natural building, group dynamics and creating change. Other skills include: forest gardening, circular design, plant ID, water harvesting, natural beekeeping, wetland ecological treatment systems, herbal medicine, wild food foraging, setting up projects, organisational structures and animal husbandry. During the four design projects during Shift, I undertook mapping, surveying, consultations and created designs or improvement strategies for land up to three hundred acres, including woodland, wildflower meadows and freshwater habitats - this included research of these habitats and guidance on implementation. This course has had a profound impact on my understanding of what a regenerative and integrated system looks like, providing solutions for the climate, ecological and social crises and addressing social and environmental justice.
