April 29 Lecture: Regenerating Pittsburgh From The Ground Up
|
|
On April 29 Regenerating Pittsburgh will host a special lecture by author Dave Jacke and Darrell Frey on regenerating healthy human communities and natural ecosystems.
The lecture will be held at Chatham University's Shadyside Campus, Eddy Theatre in Pittsburgh from 7 to 9 p.m.
Dave Jacke is the author of Edible Forest Gardens, a book about applying the principles of ecology to the design of home scale gardens mimicking forest ecosystem structure and function, but grow food, fuel, fiber, fodder, fertilizer, "farmaceuticals," and food.
Darrell Frey is from the Three Sisters Farm and Bioshelter, a farm dedicated to growing and marketing organic produce and teaching others those skills.
This presentation introduces the forest gardening vision and presents living examples of gardens as well as a sampling of perennial edibles you can grow. It shows how the underlying ecology of forest ecosystems can teach us ways to organize our own communities and cities to meet the challenges of the future right here, right now.
We will also ask what role our species can and should assume in our local and global ecosystems and how that translates to concrete action where we live.
