Permaculture Design Site Analysis and Assessment Open Skill Share & Work Day

Permaculture Design Site Analysis and Assessment Open Skill Share & Work Day
Thursday, September 12th Sun Up to Sun Down (All Day)
Oakland Roots School of Urban Sustainability
923 Martin Luther King Jr. Way & 10th Street, Oakland, CA
(4 blocks west of 12th Street BART)
RSVP for phone number: e-mail RootsRhizing@gmail.com

I will be doing a permaculture design site analysis and assessment for the urban lot that is being transformed into the Oakland Roots School of Urban Sustainability.  I will be there sun up to sun down to watch and record the movement of the sun, and the resulting moving sun and shade patterns on the land.  People are welcome any time of the day.  The more present you are the more I am able to share with you.  We will also be hauling water from a nearby spigot to fill a water cistern.  To read about what a full site analysis and assessment entails, visit http://risingrootsdesign.blogspot.com/p/permaculture-information.html
