Joe--I am a member of the board of the School of Living- an organization that
holds land in trust for six intentional communities that all, to some degree
implement permaculture principles on the land they occupy. The communities
are located int he Pa., Maryland, Virginia area. The most active one from a
permaculture perspective is Heathcote in Freeland Maryland. There have been
permaculture workshops at Julian Woods near state College ,Pa. and probably
one at Seven Sisters ,Cochranville,Pa. in the near future. I am sending in a
separate email an announcement of a workshop at the new Ahimsa Village right
next to Julian Woods. It is my contention that the communities-altho they
are doing good work--are not taking as seriously as they could be, the
implications of global warming and peak oil so i am encouraging them to make
regular reports on what they are doing to prepare for these.
The mission of the School of Living is to educate and so there are people
in the organization who are willing spend time with those who want to know
more about community land trust-all the legal implications and how they
work. The person most qualified to do that is Herb
Goldstein[herb@schoolofliving.org] who has a long history in SOL and has a
sharp mind for detail and legalise. another contact and long-time member is
Rita Jane Leasure[ritajane@schoolofliving.org]. David
Harper[dharperec@yahoo.com] has recently joined the board and has volunteered
to take on some of the educational duties of Herb. He has worked with regular
conservation land trusts but wants to put his energy into community land
trusts now. He would be an excellent contact for the types of questions you
might have. Hope this helps.---Steve Hoog

I wonder if anyone has experience with an existing land trust and the
implementation of permaculture planning. What, if any, are sensitive issues?
Are there ways around them?
Do most trust managers know about permaculture? What is their general
perception of it?

I would like some input to help local land owners in Massachusetts gain some
productivity from their "protected" property.

Thank You All, it is a pleasure to be a part of this group.

Joe
