THIS COURSE IS FULFILLS THE ACCREDITATION REQUIREMENTS FOR BECOMING AN EOV MONITOR.
Regeneration is relationship, but to have relationship we must also have language.
While we, modern humans are far from embracing complete reciprocity with our vegetative, two and four legged cousins, learning the language of rewilding and regeneration, ecological evolution, and plant identification is a wonderful and NEEDED first step.
This course, while constructed around the Savory Institute's Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV) framework, will equip all of its attendees with this language: from days in fields and forests learning plant identification to days on our knees eating and smelling soil. There is also substantive classroom time where we will study the soil food web, EOV protocol, and more!
Join us for the unique, 5-day training at the beautiful Timshel Wildland (the Mid-Atlantic's pioneering Rewilding landscape) in Central Virginia on monitoring ecological outcomes as part of the EOV platform through the Savory Institute and become an accredited monitor.
Tickets are limited to maintain both the intimacy and spirit of this course alongside the hands-on component!
Along with the educational portion of this course, all students will assist in the ACTUAL EOV Monitoring of Timshel's landbase, giving you ACTUAL experience and ACTUAL takehomes that will help you either develop a career around EOV or utilize this ACTUAL knowledge in monitoring your own lands, community or personal.
Learn by learning and learn by doing!
