What is Permaculture?
Overview
For the last 15+ years, a small group of volunteers has been working to organize our regional community- creating opportunities to connect and learn from each other. In 2008, some of these folks formed Permaculture Association of the Northeast (PAN) as a registered non-profit and a federal 501c3 and began asking others from around the region to volunteer on the Board.
PAN has supported the regional permaculture network through online and in-person offerings:
- Hosting 3 to 4 online events (including webinars, discussion groups, and meet and greets) per year since 2018
- Launching the Unlawnful Campaign and developed the Unlawnful Toolkit
- Helping with the administration of regional permaculture listservs
- Creating a member map and directory
- Supporting a Northeast Permaculture Convergence every summer for about 10 years
- Organizing several sub-regional gatherings for permaculture teachers, professional designers and organizers
- Co-convening the first-ever Women in Permaculture Gathering in our region in 2013
- Convening the Northeastern regional caucus at the first-ever North American Permaculture Convergence in August 2014
