Guest Workshop Presenter during the Forum at Peace Street Permaculture – Brenna Quinlan

Brenna Quinlan is an illustrator and educator who strives to make the world a better place through her art and her actions. She has ridden a bicycle across the Americas, taught permaculture in Brasil, Chile and Argentina, and lived for four years at Melliodora, the permaculture demonstration site created by permaculture co-originator David Holmgren and his partner Su Dennett in Central Victoria, Australia.

Brenna is currently building her own strawbale house out of reclaimed materials in Western Australia on Noongar boodja. She acknowledges the traditional owners of this land, and that sovereignty was never ceded.

This event is supported by Shire of Denmark’s community grants program, Green Skills, Denmark CRC and Southern Regional TAFE
