Resources for Permaculture

Introductory & Full Design Courses
I currently run a selection of courses that accommodate different levels of learning in permaculture. These range from taster days & introductory weekends, to full design courses (90hrs) that provide participants with an opportunity to learn about & to start to apply the principles & tools. I also run more specialist courses for design course graduates, that advance permaculture learning & provide tools & skills for teaching & facilitation.
Permaculture Diploma Portfolio
These pages constitute a trimmed down version of my Portfolio for the Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design (completed in September 2003). Here you will find plenty of detail about the process of designing both land & non-land based projects, plus many more pages detailing other Permaculture work that I did between completing my design course in 1996 & graduating in 2003.

![]() | Time's Up! An Uncivilized SolutionWhat kind of life do you want, and what are you willing to do to get it? Author Keith Farnish sees industrial civilization as the most destructive way of living yet devised by humans. And it's over: environmental degradation and depletion tell us it can't continue. The system has myriad ways to make us believe we can't live without it. But Keith believes we can - there are countless ways to move forward into contented, happy, and full lives. We can "disengage" and reconnect with the natural world, ourselves, and others. (www.unsuitablog.com, www.theearthblog.org) |

Indigenous Perspectives Conference
One of Britain's leading adventurers, Benedict Allen, is to open the Indigenous Perspectives Conference on Monday 12th October. Allen is the author of 11 books, but is probably best known for his TV programmes of exploration and endurance. His first-hand experience of indigenous people in jungle, tundra and desert qualifies him to speak with authority and warmth at this one-day conference at the Pierian Centre.
