INHABIT: A Permaculture Perspective
Friday, August 21^st         6:00 p.m.

Location: Schuyler County Cooperative Extension, 323 Owego St., Montour Falls, NY 14865

Ten years ago in the Northeast one could barely find a permaculture class, much less a site that demonstrated permaculture principles and techniques in action. Today there is a very different story emerging, and examples abound of permaculture applied to farms, gardens, urban environments, social systems, and more.

In 2013, filmmakers Costa Boutsikaris and Emmett Brennan took a journey around the northeast and midwest U.S. and combined their eye for beauty with their passionate interest in permaculture to create a feature length documentary, INHABIT: A Permaculture Perspective.

The film will be shown at the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schuyler County this Friday, August 21 at 6pm to kick off the 2^nd Annual Permaculture Site Tours on Saturday, August 22, where over a dozen sites in Ithaca, Syracuse, and surrounding areas will open their doors to the public.

Sites will be open from 9 – 12pm or 1 – 4pm. A reception at the Finger Lakes Cider House in Interlaken, NY will follow from 5 – 8pm with food, raffle, and live music. (http://www.fingerlakesciderhouse.com/)

The film presents a vast array of projects, concepts, and people translating the diversity of permaculture expressions into a message easily understood by an equally diverse audience. To those familiar with permaculture, it will be a call to action and a glimpse into what’s possible; what kind of projects and solutions are already underway. For those unfamiliar, it will be an introduction to a new way of being and a new way of relating to the Earth. For everyone, it will be a reminder that humans are capable of being planetary healing forces.
