FGCU FOOD FOREST Service Learning Event (November)

About

*BRING WATER & CLOSED TOE SHOES*

"Volunteers will be assisting our Coordinator (Dylan Moncada, Samantha Sette) &(or, Marco Acosta) in processing down trimmed trees & distributing that material to surrounding mulch zones. This is light work although the day will be hot, & the bugs will be out. I recommend bringing closed-toe shoes, preferably boots, pants and long sleeves to defend from mosquitos. Gloves if you have any. You will be given plenty of water breaks & time to cool off. Definitely bring plenty of water for yourself, a snack as well."

-Sincerely

Dylan Moncada, Adrian Boguslaw, Ty Boyd

Permaculture: (noun)

————-

Permaculture encompasses various disciplines such as ecological design, engineering, and environmental construction. It involves managing water resources, sustainable architecture, and creating habitats and agricultural systems inspired by natural ecosystems.

Permaculture employs creative design methods rooted in holistic thinking, considering all materials and energies involved in proposed changes. This means thoroughly assessing both immediate and long-term effects on ecosystems before implementing modifications, such as altering water flow patterns or vegetation management.
