Why do you think this project is appropriate for the course assignment?

The OAEC does amazing work with permaculture education, and they are passionate about engaging with us, learning about regenerative systems thinking, and expanding their impact.

Additional Useful Information

We have already had our mentor meeting with Joel as well as our interview. Both went great and I'm looking forward to continuing to think about the OAEC as we continue the course!
