Classes/Education

Our services come with education.

A public speaker, workshop facilitator and presenter for over 20 years, Keli brings her diverse knowledge to your event, project or class on topics that connect people to land, water and air.

Recently she volunteered with the Fresh Outlook Foundation on the Climate Action Ripple Effect (CARE) as a mentor for students doing climate-friendly project examples and in January 2023, Keli presented to the Canadian Federation of University Women in Vernon.

She hosts Vernon Permaculture at the library on the last Wednesday of each month.

Giving back to the Earth in many ways is just part of the way we work.
