FINGER LAKES PERMACULTURE INSTITUTE
presents
Mushroom Weekend: Permaculture workshops on homegrown mushrooms,
forest farming and ecology
May 16 & May 17, 2009
Saturday at Cayuta Sun (http://www.cayuta.org)
11 a.m.
Mushroom Inoculation with Steve Sierigk
This hands-on workshop will take participants step-by-step through
mushroom inoculation of cut logs using
plug spawn. We will inoculate logs both for the Finger Lakes
Permaculture Institute and for your purchase.
Participants will take home one log for their workshop fee. We will
provide tools, but bringing your own cordless
drill would be appreciated.
1 p.m.
Food Forest Design with Kay McGrenaghan Cafasso
Learn about the concept of forest gardening. Design for edibles in the
different ecosystem niches of forests. We will
walk the grounds to identify some onsite species we can incorporate
into a food forest as well as discuss species not
onsite at Cayuta Sun that may be beneficial in a potential forest
garden design.
3 p.m.
Forest Ecology Walk with Steve Gabriel
Hike through the forests of the Cayuta Sun property area while
discussing forest ecology and sharing tools to assess
and design forest management plans for long term health and
productivity. Participants will develop an
understanding of forest patterns and succession processes that tell a
story of the past and define the future of these
incredible systems.
Sunday at Ramp Hollow Community Farm (http://www.sapsquatch.com)
11 a.m.
Mushroom inoculation with Steve Sierigk
This hands-on workshop will take participants step-by-step through
mushroom inoculation of cut logs using plug
spawn. We will inoculate logs both for The Ramp Hollow farm and for
your purchase. Participants will take home
one log for their workshop fee. We will provide tools, but bringing a
cordless drill is appreciated.
1 p.m.
Agroforestry Strategies with Josh Dolan
Walk through the forest and learn about plans for our maple syrup
sugarbush and explore the other yields these
healthy woods have to offer. Follow the seasons of work from firewood
and lumber harvesting in fall and winter to
maple sugaring in late winter on through the ramp harvest and mushroom
inoculation in spring. Discuss future
crops and projects that could be introduced into the woodland.
Visit each location’s website for driving directions.
A $20-50 donation to the Finger Lakes Institute is requested for a day
of workshops.
