Reading Assignment #4
Dan Hemenway’s (Barking Frog Permaculture) Design Report Requirements. It’s but the text is huge, and it’s a quick read. As you read, take note of all of the good thinking he’s picked up from years of experience of consulting. There is a lot of embodied knowledge of what works and what doesn’t. Feel free to just skim the first 6-10 pages. When he starts talking about the report itself, pay attention!
