permaculture

["Bart Anderson" <bart@cwo.com>]

Sorry about the faulty URL to the lecture notes on invasion biology. My email 
program truncates long lines and the URL was broken in two.  

This should work:
http://www.columbia.edu/itc/cerc/danoff-burg/invasion_bio/invbio_lectures.htm

If that doesn't work, here is the link in two parts.  You can paste them 
together in your browser's address window:
 http://www.columbia.edu/itc/cerc/
danoff-burg/invasion_bio/invbio_lectures.htm 

You can find the above link and many others at:

It's wonderful to read permaculture discussions about "invasives", e.g. about 
kudzu, filled with observations, openness and humor. 

"Invasives" seems to be a hot topic. I wonder if would be a good theme for an 
upcoming issue of Permaculture Activist?   Permaculturalists might be well 
placed to talk about invasives since they are commited to:

1) Observation of the natural world
2) Human intervention in the form of gardening, landscape design, etc.
3) Environmentalism and sustainability

Such an issue might be of broad interest to the outside world.
