We are so thrilled that Marita Sydes is joining Rowe Morrow, Lis Bastian and Danielle Wheeler as a teacher in the upcoming Permaculture Design Course starting in Blackheath on Friday 13 May. Check out the range of experience she'll be bringing to the course:
Marita Sydes has over 30 years experience in natural resource management in a range of roles ranging from rare plant management, botanical surveys, revegetation, native vegetation management and Landcare. Along with academic qualifications in natural resource management Marita completed her PDC with Rowe Morrow and Lis Bastian in Orange in 2010 and followed this with Permaculture Teachers Training with Rowe Morrow at Milkwood in 2012. In 2012 Marita also completed the Milkwood Forest Garden workshop with Dan Harris.
In her role as Landcare Coordinator for Central Tablelands Landcare for the past 8 years Marita has coordinated a range of projects on biodiversity conservation on farm, grazing management and soil health as well as delivered a range of Permaculture training events such as introduction to Permaculture, planning your vegetable garden and forest gardening in Orange.
Marita has extensive experience in adult education with over 15 years experience teaching and inspiring a range of adult learners in topics ranging from native vegetation management on farms to native plant identification and Permaculture – having taught Conservation and Land Management for TAFE Western, lectured in organic agriculture, biodynamics and Permaculture in the Ecological Agriculture degree at Charles Sturt University and coordinated the delivery of a range of training programs through her work with Central Tablelands Landcare.
Marita has an ongoing commitment to not only the conservation of our native vegetation but also to working with community to develop and promote more sustainable food production models - where we rely less on synthetic chemicals and long transport distances (food miles) in food production – the teachings of Permaculture are a means of achieving this.

Thank you to the Lithgow Mercury for sharing this story about Rosemary Morrow teaching permaculture to young Peace Volunteers in Kabul, Afghanistan last month:
Teaching Skills and Giving Hope
"According to Rowe: “Teaching these 68 young people as the helicopters went over and a huge blimp watched everything we did, and as we got news that the defence department was blown up and 15 people were killed, I had to deal with their tension, fear for the future, and grief for their families which have been decimated.
“You wonder how much more a young person can take.
“And yet you have this wonderful spirit of together we can do it.
“I think what the permaculture design course gave them was a way to concentrate fully on how to look at their environment and solve problems, even to the point of building a tiny little water generator that would recycle water from the roof and run two electric lightbulbs at night if the electricity was blown up.
“We were looking at small solutions to seemingly intractable and desperately serious problems.” "
