Program Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this workshop, Jesse Watson from Maine Ecological Design School <\/span>will introduce the Ecological Design process and principles that go into this type of planning process. Some considerations include: categories of land use; reading the landscape, addressing resource concerns, access, water management, types of agroforestry pr<\/span>actices and more. The first part of the workshop will take place in a classroom setting at the Aldermere Farm Welcome Center. After lunch the workshop will head to nearby Erickson Fields Preserve. At Erickson we will walk through the Ecological Design Plan for that site with Jesse and MCHT staff to learn about how and why decisions for the plan were made.\u00a0 The goal is for you to leave the workshop with a sense of how an Ecological Design plan could be a helpful, useful and applicable tool for your farm or property.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
