Creating A Sustainable Ecological Culture

Lomakatsi Restoration Project

and

White Oak Farm & Education Center

present:

a 3-day participatory workshop, including practical applications of

 Traditional Ecological Knowledge,
Restoration Forestry, Ecological Woodlot
Stewardship, Permaculture, Small Diameter Utilization & Natural Building

Friday, May 4 through Sunday, May 6, 2007

White Oak Farm in Williams, Oregon

Discover the interface among Traditional
Ecological Knowledge (TEK), restoration forestry
practices, permaculture principles, byproduct
utilization and natural building. Leading
indigenous cultural practitioners, restoration
ecologists, scientists and permaculture
designers will share valuable information about
traditional ecological practices, local ecology
and current restoration forestry principles.
Explore Native American ecological techniques
for cultivating viable plant communities for use
as food, basketry and weaving materials.
Stewarding the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion today
can incorporate lessons from indigenous peoples'
use of fire, and the role that fire played in
maintaining wildlife habitat and hunting
grounds. Practical hands-on experiences in the
forest, woodlands and fields will help restore
and enhance forest and woodland resiliency,
species diversity, and site productivity.
Together, we will come to see the forest as "our
pharmacy, supermarket, and hardware store". Join
us to share ideas and skills that can be applied
to tending your own land in this fire-adapted ecosystem.

Topics and Skills shared will include:

Farming With Fire - Learn how to cultivate
wildland native plants for food and fiber with
pruning and prescribed fire techniques-for both
forest restoration and wildland food production.

Basketry and Fish Traps from Fire Adapted Plants
- Learn from indigenous cultural practitioners.
Traditional Indigenous weavers from the Karuk
and Hoopa tribes of the mid -Klamath region will
share a simple hazel fish trap weaving
technique, and discuss Native use of fire to
cultivate basketry plant materials.

Restoring Fire Adapted Forests - Learn how to
design a forest restoration ecological treatment
prescription to reduce severe fire hazards,
enhance forest stand health and diversity, and
prepare your forest for the reintroduction of
fire. Prescribed fire techniques will be shared
as we witness Lomakatsi work crews performing on
site treatments - before, during and after the work.

Oak Woodlands and Savannahs- The Forgotten Acorn
Orchards -Experience and participate in the
restoration of vanishing oak habitats. Learn
restoration thinning techniques and how to use
prescribed fire to invigorate oak woodland
health and increase plant and wildlife
diversity. Learn how to process acorns in
atraditional way as a main food staple for our regional diet.

From the Forests to Natural Buildings -Learn to
select small diameter trees in an ecological
manner during restoration forestry
prescriptions and treatments. See how small
diameter wood by-products can be used for your
natural building projects. Lomakatsi will teach
ecologically sensitive methods for extracting,
removing and processing restoration wood
by-products. Participants will tour the
forests, perform an exercise in tree selection,
and tour White Oak Farm's natural buildings to witness how things dovetail.

Creating a Sustainable Ecological
Culture-Permaculture and Wildland Forest
Cultivation -Explore how the practices of
permaculture, restoration forestry and
traditional ecological knowledge are interwoven
into the co-creation of a sustainable ecological land-base and culture.

Bringing Back the Salmon - Learn about the
intricate connections between forests and fish
as restoration biologists from the Williams
Creek Watershed lead fieldtrips demonstrating
their efforts to restore habitat for threatened
salmon and steelhead. Learn from these
professionals how in-stream watershed
restoration techniques will help to bring back the salmon.

Multi-media instruction:

The forest and woodlands on the 60-acre White
Oak Farm and surrounding Williams Valley provide
an ideal outdoor classroom setting. In addition
to field trips, we will have lectures,
discussion and power point presentations to round out the weekend.
