Dana Utroske

Permaculture educator & designer. Pacific Northwest native with advanced certificates in Urban Permaculture & Education, and a Master’s in Leadership for Sustainability Education.

I’m a permaculture educator and designer with a passion for sustainability education. As a Pacific Northwest native, I’ve always been drawn to the natural beauty and abundance of the region. I hold advanced certificates in Urban Permaculture & Education, as well as a Master’s in Leadership for Sustainability Education.

My expertise lies in whole system design, permaculture theory, urban and suburban design, social permaculture, emotional/inner permaculture, food forests, ecological design, ecosystem restoration, and youth and adult education. I’m proud to have been a PDC mentor for the international Permaculture Women’s Guild.

Currently, I’m based in the oak woodlands of Southern Oregon/Northern California, but my roots are in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. I’ve always been passionate about connecting people with nature and helping them develop a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness with the world around us. Whether I’m teaching K-12 sustainability education or designing sustainable systems, I strive to empower individuals and communities to make positive change in their own lives and in the world.
