existing recordings

Regular use of a base map to record activities

It doesn’t have to be big and impressive to be useful postcard design for productive field boundaries/divisions

Designs do not have to be complicated

Meeting designs developed with the Mawddach Permaculture Group

Dissemination and symmetry Planning permission applications- photocopied, floppy disk, , website I now use my own website konsk.co.uk to host my work, and from there it gets passed on to various other media such as the fascine causeway design appearing in the Permaculture Activist Presenting at regional and national events (such as this one) courses and guided tours at Penrhos (note the English LAND project) copies of wilderness regeneration slides given to Andy Langford Wilderness regeneration and meeting patterns- Permaculture Magazine

Bloom’s taxonomy of the cognitive domain levels of learning evaluation synthesis analysis application knowledge comprehension
