We have a live permaculture design intensive coming up Aug. 6-16 and a 5 to
6-month online course starting in Ocotober. We also have a number of
publications available. Please contact us privately at YankeePerm@aol.com for
detials.
Permaculture may be characterized as follows:
"Permaculture design brings our lives back into participation with the Earth.
Permaculturists and other environmentalists warn of global destruction unless
we learn to live with the Earth rather than continuing to prey upon her.
Permaculture trusts that the Earth shows us solutions to halt the destruction
of the biosphere while sustaining ourselves in wholesome and fulfilling ways.
" Permaculture design integrates people into Nature's design for the
bioregion as a whole so that it is respected, enhanced and strengthened. People
receive shelter, energy, food, water, income, community and aesthetic as well
as spiritual fulfillment as part of the permaculture design, all within a
balanced biological community. Permaculture design students learn to make
practical recommendations to develop the natural potential of a site. They also
learn to identify the source and availability of every resource required to
implement the permaculture design. A time table for orchestrating the unfolding
of the design and using each stage of implementation to prepare for the next
helps to assure practical and efficient results. Thus the design integrates the
goals of the Earth and the people in that place. "
