Urban Ecology Extravaganza Happening March 3

The Institute of Urban Ecology and other organizations are teaming up for the event that will take place in Altadena and Pasadena.

Some of LA’s leading urban ecology experts and an internationally recognized permaculturist will descend on the area for the Urban Ecology Extravaganza happening March 3.

Altadena’s Institute of Urban Ecology, a “center for learning focused on living ecological solutions for the urban environment,” will host day events that include talks on how to raise chickens in a backyard without a coop or run, permaculture in an urban setting and gardening that works with nature’s systems.

Incidentally, permaculture focuses on sustainability in a variety of ways.
