“Let ours be a time remembered
for the awakening of a new reverence for life,
the firm resolve to achieve sustainability,
the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace,
and the joyful celebration of life.”
About Midwest Permaculture
"For when one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world."
John Muir (Founder of Sierra Club)
Midwest Permaculture is the outgrowth of decades of experience and preparation which culminated in the creation of a powerful Permaculture Design Certification Course held in Stelle, Illinois, in October of 2006. The course was delivered by Bill Wilson, Wayne Weiseman, and Mark Shepard and hosted in the unique community of Stelle, IL.
Midwest Permaculture is a business created and owned by Bill and Becky Wilson of Stelle (30 year residents) with the goal of promoting more sustainable ways of living and providing quality permaculture education and training.
Wayne Weiseman & Mark Shepard now teaching together. It is also our intention to make Wayne and Mark’s years of experience and expertise available to the larger public by hosting a variety of educational opportunities with them as teachers and mentors.
Both men are so busy living their lives by ’walking the talk’ that neither have the time to organize educational events. Both men have spent the better part of the last 2 decades deepening their understanding and practical experience of a permaculture approach to life. There are few who have seen and done as much as these two men in this area. Either one makes an impressive teacher, but together, they are exceptional.
