Deeply interested in living systems, Dan Milne believes that we should be thinking differently about our relationship to water: where it comes from, where it goes, how we are all part of a watershed, and how even in an urban environment we can practise good water stewardship. Dan designs and teaches with interests in ecology, systems thinking and permaculture.
Dan's workshop, Working with Water is at Edendale Farm in Eltham on November 18 2023. The workshop will explore the human relationship with water, how it fits within our ecology and moves through the land. It will cover: principles and patterns for catching, storing and distributing water; reading water’s behaviour in the landscape; how to work with rainwater, grey water and mains supplies to bring more life to our surroundings; and principles and design approaches to improve your management of water at home. It will also involve walking, talking and designing to explore living examples of water management around Edendale’s buildings, gardens and nearby waterways.
