Complete 24 hours of work-to-learn practice at one of the sustainability-oriented education sites in our community.
Hands-on practice of course material outside of class solidifies understanding and builds skills. Working on site will help you to develop familiarity with the materials, tools, and processes that are used in permaculture practice and will prepare you for leadership positions as a course mentor or site supervisor in subsequent semesters.
In order to complete the CE requirement, you must log in 24 hours of work (about 2 hrs / week) outside of class. You are responsible for contacting the site supervisor and arranging work times. The site supervisor must sign off on your hours for each work session. You can use whatever method works best for you to document your hours, as long as I have access to your timesheet through this page.
Due to covid, some special guidelines apply:
- If you need to carpool to any of the sites, you must follow the Carpooling guidelines
- Before visiting any service site, you must fill out the Field Experience Student Acknowledgement of Risk of COVID-19 form
Limiting the Spread of COVID-19
Before visiting any service site, students are expected to check themselves for symptoms of COVID-19 daily. Any student who is exhibiting any symptoms of any illness should not visit the site. Students who are exhibiting signs of illness (for example, coughing or sneezing) will be asked to leave the site and to contact the Student Health Center. Students will not be penalized for staying home while sick. Help care for each other: Stay home when you don’t feel well.
Students will wear appropriate face-coverings at the site. This includes either a disposable mask/face covering or a reusable cloth mask/face covering. If you do not have a face covering, you may ask the site provider for one. You may not visit a service site without a face covering and if you are at a site without your face covering properly worn, you will be required to leave the site. Students unable, for health reasons, to wear a cloth face covering must obtain a documented exception from the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations.
Students will maintain a minimum of 6 foot distance from all other site attendees at all times unless the site has been set up to allow for closer contact. Students uncomfortable with in-person study have the option to study remotely.
