Regenerative by Design: How Soil, Water, and Carbon Cycles Shape Our Future
For the final event in our energy speaker series, we step off campus and into the living laboratory of Inspiration Farm. Join Brian Kerkvliet, regenerative farmer, educator, and co-steward of this permaculture demonstration site, for a grounded conversation at the intersection of land use, food systems, water, and climate resilience
Through the lens of permaculture, Brian will explore how intentional design can restore balance to the carbon, water, and nitrogen cycles, while producing nutritious food, capturing and storing energy, and building long-term ecological and community health. This 1-hour session will take place on-site at the farm and include dialogue, demonstration, and a systems-level perspective on how to meet this moment with regeneration rather than extraction.

Hands on at Hunter’s Property, November 23rd
The work party will take place at the rewilding project of Hunter Lydon. The project began in 2020 and, in 2022, hosted an Earthworks class led by Brian Kerkvliet.
Come see the value in bringing water onto land and lend a hand with soil preparation for future plantings.
It’s a wet set, a seasonal wetland, so please bring rain boots and clothes to get dirty in. Water and snacks are not a bad idea too.
Its a raw site with no structures or bathroom. There is a spot to relieve yourself under the cover of trees, though.
