Courses

Our Goal is simple; environmental literacy forging positive environmental interaction along with community development.

Permaculture and Homesteading Courses 2024

Our course offerings focus mainly here at our regenerative education center Treasure Lake. We work very hard to create a living laboratory at Treasure Lake so students can see permaculture in action. Doug Crouch leads most of these workshops but also partners with others or hosts experts to teach at the educational center. Doug’s work is also online or offsite at times. With the developed and developing host site, stellar teachers, and dynamic topics, we hope to help you in your journey of homesteading and permaculture.

What does a redefined culture look like, one with an ethical approach to development and economy, one rich with food and arts, remembering to celebrate and share our surplus? A world, where water harvesting features are seamlessly integrated, where trees of fruits surround us, and where people love nature as the fear has subsided? Where Permaculture courses are the norm and not the fringe. Through the gaining of environmental literacy and practical skills at courses, the toolkit for the reformation of culture is formulated.

Teaching always went along with site development and having this experience in so many different climates and contexts is something Doug imparts to students.
