A diverse and complete soil food web where soils are well structured and fertile through an increasing organic mater percentage is the goal of modern-day regenerative agriculture, organic gardening and Permaculture design systems.
Trained as both a Permaculture Designer and Fish and Wildlife Manager, Doug
Doug Crouch in his beloved paw paw groves
has extensive knowledge surrounding landscape planning and food production systems. This regenerative design and implementation work spans the globe ranging in contexts and climates including tropical agro-forestry, Mediterranean organic gardening, and temperate suburban edible landscaping. To facilitate this work he founded TreeYo Permaculture thus building off his other formal training in small business management. Incorporating this knowledge and experience into sustainability educational programming has now become Doug’s main focus as he continues his ecological design and holistic development at Treasure Lake.
