Enjoy our combined evening film festival and day-long workshop designed to
introduce you to the fundamentals of Permaculture as applied to our cold
temperate climate bioregion.

Learn how to consciously design and maintain productive ecosystems that have
the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. Practice
using Permaculture design concepts on real site plans in our Small Group
Design Activity.

The Permaculture Research Institute Cold Climate in cooperation with the
Permaculture Collaborative invites you to participate in an Introduction to
