> In 1997 Dan Earle posted a note about "A Permaculture Primer"
> that he and some colleagues developed after attending a Permaculture
> Design Course.  It was an excellent resource which I put into my
> traveling workshop notebook.

> Also noted in 1997 at:
> http://www.ibiblio.org/InterGarden/permaculture/mailarchives/permacult
> ure-info/msg00059.html
>
> That was when he was teaching Landscape Architecture at Louisiana
> State University.  However, the web link has been dead for some
> time.... though I wouldn't throw it away in hopes of finding it once
> again.

> But Google is a powerful web research tool, and I found thru
> an online LSU newsletter that Dan retired and moved to Nova
> Scotia where he has web page talking about his current land +
> building projects, AND it contains the wonderful Permaculture Primer.

> Introduction from:
>
> A Permaculture Primer
> By Dan Earle and Sue Hutchins
> http://home.klis.com/~chebogue/PermacultureIndex.html
>
> In July of 1995 we took a Permaculture course sponsored by the
> Institute of Bioregional Studies at the Ovens' Natural Park in Nova
> Scotia. The two week event was choreographed and informed by Michael
> Pilarski and Garry Lean, our primary instructors. The learning
> experience spilled over into all hours of the day as students,
> instructors, park owners, and guests interacted with and synergized
> each others' energies. At the end of the two weeks we had gained a new
> perspective on our lives, many new friends and a wealth of notes and
> references.
>
> It is the latter, the volumes of notes and references, that this web
> site attacks. Quite frankly, we were stuffed-full! We had just been
> through the equivalent of two college courses in two weeks and were
> suffering from information overload. We gave the material some
> incubation time and came back to it. We finally decided that the
> material could be organized into the five major areas around which
> this Primer is organized.
>
> The Principles -- which are the big ideas guiding decisions and
> helping in evaluation of design alternatives.
>
> The Components -- which are the physical and social elements placed
> in the design to accomplish its purpose.
>
> The Concepts -- which are those ideas that guide placement of
> components to meet the principles.
>
> The Associated Movements -- which are other areas of interest having
> information that may inform our decision making.
>
> The Resources --which are publications, organizations and other
> information sources.
>
> We have found this arrangement useful for consolidating our notes and
> thoughts, developing a filing system for material we collect, and
> dealing with the diversity of permaculture information. This web site
> is an update and expansion of our 1995 draft. It contains revisions of
> our original note material and new information we have developed since
> the course.
