USFS Pacific Northwest Research Station: Urban Science Initiative Restorative Experiences for Returning Warriors: soldier stewardship for mental health and the environment February 4, 2010 :: Kathleen Wolf, kwolf@uw. edu 1.

E-mail: katja. vadnal@bf. uni-lj. si and katarina. kosmelj@bf. uni-lj. si Abstract. The parents of mentally disabled people were interviewed with regard to their willingness to include their offspring in the everyday life and the activities on farms, which would provide them with social services (employment, care, nursing) in the form of supplementary on-farm activities. Among 361 interviewed parents, 54 % expressed willingness to participate in the programme. In order to assess the association between ‘willingness’ and the relevant characteristics of the parents and their mentally disabled offspring, the logistic regression models were app

The Homeless Garden Project • Fall 2008 Down on the FarmUniqueness & Variety "Diversity provides both the resistance to monocultures and the creative alternative. Our strength is our uniqueness and variety, a strength that can be eroded only when we give up on it ourselves. " — Vandana Shiva Diversity in nature appears to be a cornerstone of sustainability. And sustainable agriculture, according to ATTRA, the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service, “follows the principles of nature to develop systems for raising crops and livestock that are, like nature, self-sustaining. ” Our farm directors observe and teach this principle daily: Greater diversity leads to less pest problems. (Imagine 2 acres of a single crop that a pest loves and 2 acres of diverse crops that includes habitat for beneficial insects. ) The nutrient levels of the soil can be more easily maintained because different crops give and take differently. With a diverse farm plan, if you lose a crop, you don’t

June 2008 Issue 78 Cultivate NSW The year so far . . . . More site visits! The first half of the year for Cultivate NSW has flown by, thanks to various work happening in, around and about the Telopea Centre! 1. In the Centre, the classes ‘Hort Techniques for Therapy’ delivered by Ruth in the first semester have been well-received by a diverse group of enthusiastic students. (Ruth can you add something here???) In addition to the teaching program, there has been consistent administrative work and clerical maintenance for the Society taken care of by Marie and Jill. 2. Around the Centre, there has been substantive maintenance work and renewal. More detail overleaf from Marie! The modifications and new beginnings are most welcome. 3. About the Centre and the work of the Society, there have been three presentations: firstly to the National Disability Services (NDS) Statewide conference in February; secondly a ‘Stay on your Feet’ Falls Prevention seminar ran by the Area Health Se
