Nicholas Burtner – Beautifying Urban Spaces With Reclaimed Materials

Nicholas Burtner visits Elijah Santoyo in a suburb or Los Angeles and gets rocked by some amazing implementation of urban design. You will definitely want to know how to get that natural patina stone look using urbanite, which we affectionately dub “Urbanite on Steroids”. Elijah explains it in this video.

About Nicholas

Nicholas-Burtner-Permaculture

Nicholas is an established permaculture designer, consultant, practitioner, advocate, teacher and speaker with a portfolio of work both in the USA and abroad. Prior to working, learning, and designing in many of the major climate regions, he attended internships at the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia under the leadership of Geoff and Nadia Lawton. One of two of his permaculture design certifications is from Geoff Lawton and Bill Mollison. And he also attended the Earthship Academy for natural and recycled building construction in Toas, New Mexico under the guidance of Michael Reynolds.

The Permaculture Research Insitute

PRI Zaytuna Farm functions as a model farm (in development) and permaculture training facility. Geoff and Nadia Lawton, world-renowned permaculture educators and consultants, lead the project. Much of Geoff and Nadia’s time over the last few years has been spent away from the Institute, consulting and helping set up projects in diverse locales around the world. Seeing the worldwide demand for knowledgeable permaculture consultants and teachers increase exponentially, as fuel and fertiliser prices skyrocket and the effects of climate change, soil depletion and water shortages begin to hit hard, priority and focus is now shifting back to the Institute, where growing the training program will increase the output of quality teachers to help fill the growing need for them.
