Why, hello there.
I am Susan Cousineau, and I am a farmer, scientist, systems-thinker, and strategist. I'm also a horse person, a writer, mother, partner. Increasingly I am discovering a desire to work in these areas more deeply.
My experiences and training in permaculture and regenerative agriculture design have fueled a lifelong passion for movement-based, wildlife-friendly habitats for wild things, human and otherwise.
I'm revamping old offers and creating some exciting new ones, so check out what's currently available below. I guarantee there's more to come!
If you're interested in working with me in the realm of land design and permaculture, join the next Oregon State University PD-PRO course. Courses start in January, March, June, and September. (Use code SCPerm to get a 5% discount when you register.)
