Whole systems design

Resilience Permaculture Design specializes in whole systems design incorporating water systems, forestry and agroforestry systems, regenerative agriculture, and holistic ecological restoration.

Mapping Services

We can create sets of maps to develop a comprehensive picture of your site, which help prioritize implementation and management activities. stewardship activities in context.

Map elements can include aerial imagery, soils, water, existing access and structures, topography, and tree canopy heights.

Pre-Purchase Assessments

Buying property is a big deal. Finding the ideal place to bring forward your visions can be tricky. Are you trying to decide whether to buy a smaller acreage with an existing home, or a larger place with no structures? How about knowing what your water needs will be as you build out your farm, and whether the site you’re looking at will meet that future need?

We specialize in helping people match their visions for a regenerative land project with site characteristics. We can accompany you on site visits to observe and ask important questions to help determine if the land is a good fit for what you’re hoping for.

Feasibility Analysis

Depending on the planning needs of projects, we can provide a suite of maps to aid in site assessment. Whether you’re looking at siting a building or pond, to assessing space for a garden or orchard, these maps will provide an overview of site features that will help guide design and decision-making. Some of these maps include:

  • Soil Suitability for Agriculture or Other Activities

  • Slope

  • Aspect

  • Waterways and Wetlands

  • Sun/Shade Analysis
