Earth Steward
For thousands of years, people understood that living in nature also meant caring for it.
Rather than simply taking from the land, many indigenous cultures saw themselves as its custodians; observing, understanding and working with natural systems.
This course combines that philosophy with over twenty years of professional experience in landscaping and arborism.
Together we’ll explore:
- When, where and how to prune trees
- Looking after waterways and sensitive habitats
- Principles of permaculture
- Practical woodland management
- Tree planting and habitat restoration
You’ll gain practical skills that help you improve landscapes, while supporting biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.
