Siskiyou Permaculture invites you to join us in celebrating the launch of local author, Hazel’s, new book--Social Forestry: Tending the Land as People of Place. Hazel spent the last several decades teaching permaculture and advising homesteaders, foresters and organic farmers in the Southern Oregon region and beyond. This amazing book, being published by Synergetic Press, is the culmination of a lifetime of experience and thoughtful exploration.

Climate adaptation, human survival, and conservation efforts to maintain biodiversity that supports life on Earth require radical, back-to-the-roots grounding and intentional dedication. Social Forestry helps readers remember the ways of the wild while implementing local food production, collaboration with conservation efforts, forest management, and stabilization of headwaters to build resilience for the long term. To live in harmony with our surroundings, we need to re-skill, always remembering those who came before us and acting in ways that honor traditional wisdom of people and place.

Saturday, May 13th
