Two of my permie colleagues and I are holding an Introduction to Permaculture workshop in Brookings, South Dakota, on 23 & 24 August. For registration, please contact LaRee Grebner at 605-688-4913. The fee is $95 and includes a copy of Bill Mollison's Introduction to Permaculture as well as lunch both days and snacks, coffee/tea.
I am a PhD-trained academic, keen observer of current events, and permaculture educator and designer. I received my training in permaculture from Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton in Australia.
"What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any group is doing on the planet. We don't know what details of a truly sustainable future are going to be like, but we need options, we need people experimenting in all kinds of ways and permaculturists are one of the critical gangs that are doing that." - Dr. David Suzuki, International Environmental Advocate
