Welcome to this 7-part video series that is excerpted from Oregon State University's Online Permaculture Design Certificate Course: https://workspace.oregonstate.edu/cou... The Keyline® Plan is a method of land design for soil and water conservation developed by Australian farmer and engineer P.A. Yeomans in the 1950's, and practiced widely throughout Australia ever since. My training in this design system came from Keyline® design's modern day emissary, Darren J. Doherty of the Regrarians (www.regrarians.org). This series is my best attempt to present a simple introduction to the design system, beginning with the very basics: understanding landforms to determine the potentials that each landscape possesses. There are a lot more design layers to this system then what is presented in this 7-part series, so please treat this as an introduction, and not a comprehensive explanation. I also refer to other videos within this series that are part of Oregon State's Online Permaculture Design Certificate Course and are not publically available, so if you want more depth in this topic and others, please visit our course offerings: https://www.permaculturerising.com/pe...

A pictorial demonstration of Chapter 18 (Design and Construction of a Farm Dam); http://www.soilandhealth.org/01aglibr... from the book: Yeomans, P.A. (1958). The Challenge of Landscape. Sydney, NSW: Keyline Publishing Pty Ltd. (out of print) http://www.soilandhealth.org/01aglibr... The film opens with sweeping views of Yobarnie and Nevallan, North Richmond NSW. Keyline and other dams are shown along with a water release for irrigation. Grazing cattle are also seen. The film then shifts to a yet to be confirmed property where the complete pictorial demonstration of the building of a Keyline (Saddle) Dam takes place. Building a Keyline Dam at a Saddle (A Contour and Functional Plan-Enhanced) 1958 http://issuu.com/gboothy/docs/23._bui... Notes: 1. The saddle itself is the Keypoint and is the exit point for a natural gently-falling dam spillway into the opposite Primary Valley on the other side of the Main Ridge. See Fig. 7 in Chapter 6 (Land Shape) of the above book: http://www.soilandhealth.org/01aglibr... 2. For the final smoothing of the reintroduced top soil over the dam wall itself, the use of a dragged chain between two bulldozers travelling in parallel along the wall crest and the toes of the wall is shown.

Entoto Park Main Entrance - Entoto Park (Z) A Modern Park for Nature & People A sincere request prevailed for a family-friendly invitation to entertaining facilities and cosy amusements with the Park's exquisite highland nature. The Park's unique character of highland magnificence would then become within reach for families and passionate nature people. Thus, the somewhat rugged and overwhelming vast appearance of Entoto Natural Park gave the cause for developing this more comfortable Park, including various activities and cultural facilities. Thanks to the welcoming atmosphere, this Park is now a reality with its new family and cultural environment on the Grand Mountain massif. Thus, despite the landscape's high drama, the family offers comfortable adventures with the required modern facilities.

The Hidden Treasure at the Mountain's Shoulder This place is the work area of many endeavours; Entoto's High Plateau, where it appears among adorable Juniper hills and dreamlike meadows. Ultimately, this landscape of forgotten dreams reveals its southern border in Bees' Cliff's abyss (14). Here, it shows very soon the beautiful path (42) to Entoto Natural Park (Nursery) 34, where massive work has elapsed with nature restoration for many years. Geographical Situation Addis Ababa is situated 9° north of the equator in central Ethiopia. There is a splendid outlook over the sprawling city and the five high solitary mountains from several spots, with a propagating view from the southwest to the southeast (Menagesha, Wachecha, Furi Zukuala and Yerer). On the mountain massif of Entoto, the Park area extends from the northern edge of the city at an altitude of 2 600m and further north over the mountain crest above 3,000 m. Entoto's High Plateau with a...
