Permaculture in the Klamath Knot, Transitioning to a Post Carbon Culture in the Northwestern California
presented by Sandy Bar Ranch
Free! Thursday February 9th 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Mark DuPont will deliver an engaging presentation on how Permaculture  principles can be used to transition Northwest California from oil dependency to self reliance. This bio-region has a unique role in the West as a refuge of geological, biological and cultural diversity, and holds it’s own set of challenges and resources as we learn to live with a contracting economy and the diminishing availability of energy and resources.  This presentation examines how we can design and create sustainable human habitats that mimic the complexity and resiliency of natural systems.  Mark has 25 years of experience in Permaculture as a farmer, nurseryman, instructor, consultant and organic inspector in California and Latin America. He is a founding member and current President of the Mid Klamath Watershed Council, and has worked on every level from small garden to large farm, village to watershed.

The presentation will also touch on more information for the upcoming 10-month Klamath KnotPermaculture Design Course.

Thermal Curtains Workshop
Free! February TBA

Brrrrrr! It’s cold in this room! Keep your house warm, your energy bills down, and your toes a little less frozen. Learn how to create thermal curtains custom fit for your home. The workshop is free however the curtain materials are $10/yard.

Send us the measurements of your windows before hand so we have enough material for everyone. Please email Ccathsu@gmail.com and title the email “Thermal Curtains RSVP.”

It’s not too late to add CCAT Classes!

CCAT offers a variety of awesome 1-unit classes! If you need any last-minute units for Financial Aid or any other reason, now’s the time :)

For example, there’s Humboldt Region Appropriate Technology: An eight week course structured around the exploration of the issues and solutions related to 6 key topics: water, energy, waste, chemicals, transportation and shopping/food. Students will learn about the local, regional, and global environmental impact of their daily choices and the solutions they can use to reduce that impact. Students will take a number of field trips to a variety of sites that make Humboldt county and Arcata a uniquely sustainable place to live. The course may include educational field trips to the Arcata Wastewater Treatment Plant, Sun Frost (energy efficient refrigerator company), and the Arcata Educational Farm.

Check out all of CCAT’s classes.
