Mapping in Permaculture

- Mapping can be done remotely, anywhere in the world for any location. Permaculture designers use a body of known facts-science-to find patterns for piecing together productive properties. In order to do so, we need to know everything about a site, not just location (distance from equator, altitude, distance from ocean) but also the specific features. We need to identify the strengths and limitations of a site to provide a harmonious, high-performance design. This digital mapping method shows every physical object-roads, waterways, buildings, trees, etc-on a site, as well as the contour lines, so that designers can recognize where best to put houses, gardens, food forests, roads, grazing areas, farm forestry, and reintroduced wild spaces. With that, we can create abundant cycles and ongoing fertility that will outlast us. Take a look at maps-satellite map, color elevation map, slope map-of Zaytuna Farm, Geoff Lawton’s 66-acre demonstration site to get a glimpse of what LIDAR mapping can do. LIDAR can be used for mapping individual properties, as well as communities, tracking the entire watershed around a region so each household can understand the full potential of their plot. That’s the ideal use for this technology!

He's back! Yaaaaay
Life changing knowledge if the world would just listen
And apllies The Knowledege of course/

In a few of my science class towards my degree, we were told " the best solution is dilution."
We have concentrated our food production areas(monocropping hundreds of square miles)we live in cities where the concentration of people causes health and welfare problems.
If we spread ourselves, gave ourselves elbow room, grew our food on smaller acreage, located very near, and even within higher population concentrated areas, the whole planet will be healthier.
People only listen to what they want to listen to, and are too self absorbed to be bothered with anything else… It’s not “if people would only listen”, it’s “how do we get more people to listen?”… Especially when you factor in how short their attention span is, and how quickly they move on to the next cat video on social media… Fear seems to be the biggest motivator for the masses, and they can only digest tiny sound bites at a time… They need to connect that fear to themselves and then understand that organic regenerative is the only solution to the real problem… That is the part that hasn’t happened yet…
staying inspired w/ every video you make and every new farm i start.
I'm a new bee but I've learned that Permaculture is a good thing, and what I'd like to learn is everything about it, and exited that there's not a way, but a superb way out of this mess we are in. In fact just today (not knowing what's available) I was thinking of how to make a contour map of a site with simple surveying tools. My plan is to get some land out side the cities, somewhere in the south-west of the US.
And thank you Mr Lawton for this great channel.
He's about to start another class up very soon!
Hey Geoff I'd be interested in seeing a more thorough tutorial on how you use LIDAR mapping on a property design.
On another note I'm interested in cricket farming in a cold climate to feed chickens.
Cheers.
Slope-maps and “hydrostobing” were the salient points I found interesting in this video.
Good day! I'm from Russia. And I learn Permaculture too. I like it. Thank you for your work 🙏🙏🙏
thanks for teaching us more geoff glad to see you again
Very glad to see you back Geoff!
Love the slope map!
I put in two ponds on my property, wouldn't have had the courage (or the knowledge) without your PDC. Now if it would only rain, we are in a 1 in 50 year drought.
Hi Geoff... I'm getting into the first steps of permaculture mostly through your videos and through Mollison books. The one thing I would like to learn more about is how some permaculture techniques can be used or adopted in a Mediterranean agricultural landscape such as olive trees , vineyards, fruit etc...
Hi! mr. Lawton you finally back with us again, looking forward to watch you again. You are a great teacher, you inspired me about gardening and about agriculture. Thanks mr. Lawton for sharing i very much enjoyed your teaching and always watch your videos. God Bless!!! and be Safe.
Glad to see you back ! Great clip on mapping ! Thank you
Welcome back.
Hey Geoff, I live on the Praries in Canada. Most of our land has very minimal slope. You have a really good point about looking at LIDAR maps, satellite image etc which gives a lot of foreknowledge before assessing a property for permaculture. Thanks for the good idea
I thoroughly enjoyed my recent tour of Zaytuna Farm. We even run into Geoff chewing on a sanga on his way to move the cows. Thank you for all you do Geoff.
Glad to see you back!
Thanks for the new video! Used Google Earth and Google Maps for an attempt at viewing our site. Its gave an idea or birds eye view but not any contour as far as I could see. From there I drew the site...must be better, faster ways though. Love to hear more. Thanks!
I use this site to find local contours: contourmapcreator.urgr8.ch/
@@lulusperch1742 This site provides ultra low resolution topography. It's completely inappropriate for use in permaculture design. Scroll down to the bottom of this page, I explain it. www.pearlriverecodesign.com/what-we-do
Hi there, I work with Geoff team by making the basemaps. Here is my site where I explain what goes into it. www.pearlriverecodesign.com/
@@benmissimer Sure it isn't high resolution but it can give anyone around the world instant access to the basic lay of their land without investing in drones and Lidar scanners. To say that's "completely inappropriate" is, well... completely inappropriate haha
Hi Geoff, did my PDC with you in ...i think it was 1998. So great to see how much info you have got out since then.
There's a really loud chime sound at the start of these videos now, probably part of the new design...would be good to tone that down a bit cos i was just trying to watch with headphones on and it hurt my ears.
This is so amazing. I am sitting on 30 acres and trying to figure out the basics. I know I want a zone one for the family garden and a area for the pets. I also want fruit trees and nut trees and berry bushes. If you could please do a video about getting started.
More than a video, I suggest you start your journey by reading "PERMACULTURE A Designers Manual" by Bill Mollison. It has everything that you need.
Then you can watch videos on TH-cam that will help you understand what they are talking about. Finally, if you want, you can take a Permaculture Design Course (PDC), even a free one is comprehensive enough to make your journey pretty fruitful. There are many free courses available online.
30 acres of land is reasonably big to handle if you do not have an understanding of the subject. All the best!
I am trained in Permaculture and some more, and do have a decent experience of designing some agriculture properties in India.
@@ballu4321 could you please share your email to get guidance of indian sub continental region species?
Kind regards
@@ballu4321 How can I contact you in India?
Thank you Geoff, much gratitude to you.
reforestation and restoring ecosystem management are awesome design
Wow that slope map is so cool! What a useful layer to have. And the water strobing is so interesting too!
Thank you Geoff. Sharing to Abdulrahman 👍👍👍
I never cease to be inspired by you - but I just bet your kids merely look at each other, roll their eyes and go; "Oh, D-a-d, not a-g-a-i-n!" 😜 🤪 Whatever would you do without them? 😅
Great to see you back. Hope all is well.
You sure have my interest yet I’m a man of small means. I sent an inquiry to you through your website. Perhaps I am small potatoes, that’s just my situation. If so I’ll just keep trying to apply the principles you have given and do my best. I appreciate all of your knowledge and these videos. It’s a wealth of information!
Yes going on the community level would really change things on a profound way; a permacultural society is more or less how I would imagine the anarchist revolution to manifest in the physical world.
Hey comunnity. Great Job. ! Send much love from Moldova. Wanna see some good old knowledge?; that can scale your community up to entire world? You can Follow Vyachaslav Kulanov and His channel:Rus is not Russia Rus is the whole world/ This Knowdlege were lost due to supression of inquizition/ We can bring it back this century/ all the people in the world to the knowing of astrophizics/And stop the chase of Greed/ Every Human being must know that he lives here on the earth like white cells in our blood exist / We are the preservators of live here/ Please chek that information this could change our lives developing our true type of society.
Wow that's interesting
This is so important and useful thanks Geoff 😊
Love your videos! I’d love to see you do some videos on how desert city dwellers can optimize their lots with permaculture practices. I live in Albuquerque New Mexico & water conservation is a top priority. My lot is about 2000sq ft and I’m sure I could be doing more.
Tawnya Mullen you can watch greening the desert series from Geoff.
Thank you!
Well what would I like? I would love to travell to either Zaytuna Farm or Kramer Hof. But for the most part to Zaytuna Farm and learn practically about the permaculture. And maybe be even a phD, well I’m just 18 so everything is still in the future. We’ll see Bye
Great video...being in the Chihuahua Mexico semidesert...we only managed 1 mm of rain so far this year and probably that's all we will get. In the 1990s we had a thirteen year drought. We pump out ground water. It's important to not only map above ground water flow but also underground water flow. The amount of wells, their depths, their extraction rates need to be known to judge sustainability... also how contaminated the ground water is through agricultural runoff. It's pretty crazy how pecan orchards are being planted in our area and the amount of water that is required for a cash crop to sell to China or EAU.
:(
Nice job Ben and Geoff!
Love a good map,
Getting better all the time , great vid.

I just discovered your channel Geoff and I’m super impressed. I’m in the process of buying a 600 acre farm in Nicaragua with a river running through it. It already has numerous producing fruit trees and agricultural along with cattle, chicken and pigs. When I close escrow I would love to have you design it for me. I’ll be contacting you as soon as we close. Thank you.
Really cool, loved the animation of how the water flows. Really useful!!
Found this on perma.rocks
always like seeing your videos.
"...sensibly plan landscape." Great keyphrase!
Excellent.....when are you offering a course on mapping!!
Good question. I do Geoff's mapping. We are working on that. Here I go over what goes into it. www.pearlriverecodesign.com/
This knowledge is priceless
Much love Geoff!
Amazing.
Mapping Channel Present cheers :)
I took it to the next level and turned LIDAR data, street maps and satellite images into a 3D map that works inside the CRYENGINE game engine. LIDAR data is so accurate you can see where the sides of the roads are, and the driveway up to our house. It even knows where the dams are positioned.
Since I'm writing my own game, I was able to drop a few blocks into place to represent the houses in the area, and mark out where I want to place swales. It also revealed very clearly some spots that would be great for dams.
I can run around my virtual map with a human sized character, and get a real feel for how things could be in the future.
You can see a really quick video snippet of it if you're interested.
th-cam.com/video/LpMnF1Urqo4/w-d-xo.html
How do you get lidar data?
Very cool
When you deep into nature...Maaan.... that is Hollywood movies with different excitement everyday....
Remember...!!! Enjoy the journey.
I love these videos! I would live to learn more about permaculture on flat land and the possibility’s. Also if possible permaculture in the dry tropics as were I live is mostly dry all year but in summer hot and wet. (North Queensland) thanks! Have a great day
Love it Geoff
Interesting!
Jeff my hero :)
Technology for the win! Lovely to see. What software programs to you use for LIDAR, satellite imagery, and mapping? I’m experienced with GIS and would love to be able to use it for permaculture design and ecological restoration. ❤️
Hi Claire, I develop Geoff's basemaps for his consultancy team. I've been helping many regenerative agriculture designers for several years now. I explain my process here www.pearlriverecodesign.com/
Great video !
science is not a body of information, but a methodology, a practice. Thinking of science as a bunch of collected knowledge is turning into just another ideology, like people have done with permaculture, and every other good thing we've had.
Thanks
Geoff, huge fan!! I have a few questions if i may, i live in a very flat region with rocky soil, and heavy ground water and no natural water sources, can permaculture be implemented here? It is a middle eastern country, and i have been mentally committed to permaculture for a while, i ordered text kits to test the soil and the water to determine whats going on, and i'd love some insight, where can i get it? Thanks. Keep up the good work man. Good wishes.
kami no shimo be there is a series of videos on greening the desert. You should learn a lot by watching these. Good luck on your journey!
@@aldas3831 where can i find that? I found a lot of them, but usually they touch on aspects that i can't use where i am, i'm in a flat desert with rocky, muddy and silty soil, with sand dunes on the edges of the country, and although there are some valleys they are protected lands and the gov. Aren't focusing on water catchment practices, for example, no one believes that planting trees or brushes can help replenish ground water. Its a hard concept to grasp, i'm saving up to get a land to try some stuff on, but in the meantime i'm looking for any info i can use. My particular situation is harsh so i need to get creative and use anything i can, not a lot of stuff apply here.
kami no shimo be greening the desert-mma international. You seem to be in the same conditions. Basically you have to plant trees that grow very fast and produce lost of green matter. Cut them down and use the greens to cover the land. Use swales if you can. Use chickens to make compost. You are right. The trees will hold the water in their roots and create shade that can slow evaporation. With time they help to retain water and depending on the area, they can help create the streams. Oasis is the proof. Trees created the water streams not the other way around.
Hi Geoff, I'm interested in your strategy for bringing the community together on large-scale land restoration. Also how do you think ownership issues should be dealt with in a community sharing experience.
Hey Geoff, thank you for the great explanation. Would really love a more detailed video on this as it is crucial for setting up farms in water restricted regions of the world. On a personal note: After two medium-sized projects in Turkey (3ha) where we did swale design using an A-frame, i am currently trying to figure out an optimal plan for how to approach a bigger earth healing project that uses a bit more efficient mapping technology. I have access to a drone from a friend but for contour mapping this is not enough. I need proper topographic data but rotation laser option (even renting one) is very costly and google earth doesn't have sufficient resolution. Are there other ways to get this high-resolution topographic data? Does software such as QGIS have more resolution or what do you use? I would love some more detailed tutorials on the mapping. Thank you a lot! ❤❤❤
Great vids
Ive been to you link Geoff and I can't find how to build a map?..
What is the angle of swells, exemple for sewage is 1 cm per 1 meter. All thanks and compliments are obvious. With love Alex
What are specific names of mapping tools that are best that we can use and which data resources from web sites are available in Australia?
I use a combination of ArcGIS and Adobe illustrator to create these maps. Australia has a governmental geoportal where you can find LiDAR data. elevation.fsdf.org.au/
Also: contourmapcreator.urgr8.ch/
Almost, if not all of this mapping can be done free using Open source Geographic Information Systems. With Lidar data you also can enhance hydrographic information, slopes, slope orientation (aspect), contour maps and more. Free GIS tools: QGIS-GRASS, (www.qgis.org/en/site/) gvSIG, www.gvsig.com/ and other free tools. You just have to add some knowledge about GIS science, hydrology and land morphology.
Thanks. Anyone know of any tutorials using Lidar and these tools? * first link works if you remove the trailing ")"
Where can I learn using LIDAR? Greets from Germany 🙂💚
So where can I get this mapping for the area of Valle del Cauca in Colombia. More specifically the area of Villamaria, Vijes?
Like to see a Design from Concept to Completion ( or close to) thanks
Hi Geoff, I live in Miena Tasmania central highlands, I live on a 3.5 hectare block that we got in September last year, it basically a perfect eco system ( blank canvas) to start with but I want to integrate a human existence on the land without damaging or effecting the natural system beyond what is necessary. I think permaculture methods will be essential for this. I have joined Hipcamp to try and make some revenue, I work part time as a chef and would like to grow veg, maybe a bit of husbandry. I’m planing on growing some native edibles like pepper berry and snow berry, alpine raspberry ect. Any idea for some good crops to get ready for this spring. Cold climate 1000m above sea level, probably similar to the snowy mountains. Lots of glacial Dolerite and clay, some peat where rotting plant matter has decomposed.
Hola Geoff!! te escribo desde Bolivia donde vengo siguiendo tus ensenas hace 8 anos, me encantaria poder contar con un servicio de diseno de mi propiedad que tiene 5 hectareas.
I live in the city (USA, Idaho, zone 7a) on a half acre. I already had the high canopy trees. And I have already planted the fruit trees based on the N/high trees to S/low plants plan. But city lots are always flat. Should I create east/west swales "wherever" or should I make the lot slope first? (Other than the trees, I have a blank slate).
Yay, Geoff +Gis
Seems you can't map your property on their website anymore (or perhaps it's pay-walled?)
Hi Geoff
How do you get a contour map from satellite imagery?
What is the software you use to produce a contour map from a drone flight?

Hi Geoff, just out of interest, would it be feasible for a permaculture consultant to work with say a property developer or a combat engineer or the like to develop a prepper/survivalist retreat?
For sure!

Good morning, I would like to ask. Is it possible to create floating gardens in our river. To help clean the River water. And also create compost or animal feed.
Amazing! Curious to know, would you be open to collaborating with local permaculture designers if the project site is in another (their) country?
We provide consultancy services worldwide. Through remote sensing technologies, we are able to provide support. Where exactly is your location?

Why has Permaculture not made it into the mainstream ?
Woo hoo
Pirma culture mapping of my property in Costa Rica... is that doable???
Look here www.snitcr.go.cr/ at the government's "Geoportal" and see if they have "LiDAR" available. I tried looking but I don't know the language. If you find it or have more question, let me know. www.pearlriverecodesign.com/
Can I pls get the name of the website?
Geoff: science is not a set of facts. Science is a process for testing the validity of a statement. A statement is not a fact if it hasn't been invalidated. It just hasn't been proven false. Big difference from what you state in this video.
Druids evolved.
want to convert my land in permaculture
Not so organic of a means to environmental sustainability, more of intellectual-assisted means to environmentally sustainable design, but different means for different people, and it's not like these means are harmful now, right?
So, critical acclaim given
