NY Lens: Permaculture Comes to QueensNot many New Yorkers are familiar with the term "permaculture," but Monica Ibacache is determined to change that. Ibacache, a Chilean-born educator, will be teaching a permaculture class this summer to middle school students between 6th and 8th grade in The Renaissance Charter School in Jackson Heights, the first such summer course to be offered in New York City. Read the whole article HERE.
Students at Renaissance Charter School in Queens are taking advantage of an amazing opportunity: the Urban Design & Sustainability Program. We're integrating permaculture design into New York City STEAM education. Students are becoming eco-citizens as they learn how to design solutions to urban challenges, not only for their community but for the world.
The BOD Blog has photos, drawings, and poems from UDSP students. Read in their own words what they're doing HERE.
