18.01.2022 Learn how to build a strawbale house! There are many good reasons to choose to build with strawbalesbetter thermal performance, non-toxic material, agricultura...l waste product, low embodied energy, very high levels of insulation,etc. One of the best ways to give yourself the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful build is to do a strawbale workshop. If you have no prior architectural or building experience, this theoretical ad practical workshop will provide you with enough of an understanding of different strawbale building techniques as well as hands-on experience with some of the unique aspects of building with bales with a focus on the GREB building method. Lowlands (near Denmark) WA from 20 to 22 of November 2020. Free camping on site.

15.01.2022 I'm working up here on communities in the Fitzroy Valley. Particularly proud of this one.. increased food security for a small community with the staples that grow through the upcoming wet here.. sweet potatoes, watermelons, corn, snake beans... oh and sunflowers to make us all smile (And pollinators love them). Had a little trouble with pesky pumpkin beetles (mainly cos I haven't intervened so I could learn more about them) any one had any experience with them? #powderbarkpermaculture

13.01.2022 One of my projects here on community in Fitzroy Crossing is cranking... So glad

11.01.2022 Thanks you grannies. This was down south last week. The barbaric management of our forests has to stop. It's time to step up, grow up and let our grannies sleep in #forestsforlife #waforestalliance

10.01.2022 Breaking News Hold the Phone It’s not everyday that I will be sending out a post quite like this one but here we go.. I’m happy to let you know that ...: Costa’s World : Gardening for the soil, the soul and the suburbs will germinate as it turns out quite appropriately on Sept 1st 2021. It’s a seed that has finally broken a long dormancy and after some generous composting is growing through the next stages of production in readiness for a spring launch. All the details are here at the Booktopia link. https://bit.ly/2RRAMZg I thought I’d have a bit of an early bird chat and share some of the story behind the title and the cover on Wednesday night here . I’ll put a post up with the details but let’s say around the 730 /8pm Wed 19th May and we can even build a bit of a buzz ahead of World Bee Day on Thursday. And there’s a few ideas to bounce around ahead of the official launch in 107 days. Australian Association for Environmental Education Inc.

08.01.2022 I dunno, in the current world context, it'd just be nice if there was some hope that our current forestry practices could acknowledge trees as living beings, and not commodities for us to trash.

07.01.2022 Announcing Advanced Earthworks Course. SW of WA long weekend in Feb/March. Learn about dams, swales, drains, silt traps, soil and water testing. See machinery in action.

07.01.2022 For white folks working in permaculture and regenerative agriculture I highly recommend reading this post (there's more to it) over at https://www.facebook.com/...AGrowingCulture/posts/4052753591420007 . Permaculture practices are very much based on First Nations cultural practices yet this isn't acknowledged enough (if at all). Being a permaculturalist, addressing the climate crisis meaningfully or being a sustainable farmer includes listening and learning from the original people in your country - because they are the country. . . .www.agrowingculture.org . . . . #alwayswasalwayswillbe See more

06.01.2022 Wow check out this line up for Irelands BioFarm conference this November. One upside of the virtual conference, is people being able to contribute from all over the world. Great to see Hamish Bielski in the mix! https://nots.ie/biofarm-2020-save-the-dates/

03.01.2022 Victor Steffensen's "Fire Country" is an extraordinary book that points to a new future for conservation management; one that involves people who have a connect...ion with, and love for, the country on which they walk, whatever their ancestry. As I read Victor's story I was struck by the similarities between his work with indigenous fire and our work with farm-scale timber harvesting and multipurpose revegetation: the difficulty that the authorities and 'conservation' groups have in understanding how selective, indigenous-led burning (or farmer-led small-scale harvesting) can support nature conservation. Victor (page 170): "Taking people out of the landscape and effectively locking it up has created the major cause of our environmental disasters. Conservation laws haven't really helped with the prevention of wildfires or maintaining a healthy landscape" In Heartwood I wrote (p123): "Rather than simply withdrawing all human activity and thinking Nature will look after herself, we could be using our knowledge and understanding of natural processes and risks, and our unique ability to actively manage land and vegetation, to create landscapes that not only support native wildlife but also sequester more carbon dioxide." Thank you Victor, I hope we can catch up some day. Rowan www.agroforestry.net.au National Indigenous Fire Network

02.01.2022 These photos were taken nearly four decades apart and they were both during a drought. So what's changed? Farmers who have turned to the regenerative farmin...g movement say their land is more resilient as they embrace native grasses and trees. David Marsh from Boorowa, NSW, transformed his land over the past 20 years and has passed on his knowledge to other farmers across the capital region and beyond. The converts say the regenerative farming method is becoming more mainstream. Read more: https://ab.co/30idxsF : David Marsh and Linda Cavanagh
