Course Description
This PDC is organised by Aranya Agricultural Alternatives at Aranya farm, Bidakanne, Zaheerabad in association with Guilda Permaculture.
During this course, you will learn the permaculture consultancy skills of how to create a map to scale through triangulation with both a measuring tape and a dumpy level. You will learn how to create a base map, a rainwater harvesting overlay, and a concept design map with colored landscape design graphics for permaculture design planning and client presentations. You will create these maps from surveying local villager’s farms that Aranya has been working with doing rain water harvesting earthworks and permaculture design consultations. You will come away with a beautiful map presenting permaculture concepts in a clear, visual way.
