TreeYo Permaculture is a team of educators and designers committed to the trio of ecosystems: water, soil, and trees. These topics comprise three of the 14 chapters in the book, Permaculture: A Designers Manual by Bill Mollison, the co-founder of permaculture. As a team, we recognize the interdependence of these factors and are committed to reforestation, higher water quality, and the proliferation of soil microbes. This work, guided by nature’s patterns, leads to a more permanent culture in which humans are nurtured by their surroundings, as well as their relationships with each other.
Natures Patterns in Water
Our Permaculture Definition:
Permaculture is the harmonious integration of all life kingdoms into agriculturally productive ecosystems and socially just environments that produce sound economic consequences. It is a design science that reflects patterns in Nature, while seeking to build interconnections allowing for energy efficiency and abundance of yield.
TreeYo is a revolving set of teachers comprised around the following three people: Doug Crouch, Kaila Binney, and Gautier Gras. The flow of life brought these three together in India for TreeYo’s inception, and in this moment they find themselves on individual journeys. TreeYo facilitates educational courses with all three members together, or as individual facilitators, and often in collaboration with other teachers, depending on location and timing. In addition to our facilitation, we also have developed a design component for consultation, whole farm planning, and edible landscaping. We like to think of ourselves as a guild, each with special interests and talents, yet all striving for the same common goal.
TreeYo Mission Statement:
Through solution-based application of Permaculture Design for consultancy and education, we create and facilitate the making of connections for people, farms, educational opportunities, and enterprises for the development of abundance.
If you would like to learn more about the 72 hour Permaculture Design Course please explore this blog for past, current, and future courses. This site is meant to portray what students can expect during our courses, and to document our past work, including our consultation and development work. We are open to teaching and traveling anywhere that is eager for Permaculture seeds or just to network around our sustainability curriculums. Thus please feel free to contact us about our journey, our educational programs, or our consultancy.
