See http://permaculture.meetup.com/61/ for some Permaculture organizing in 
NYC.  Let me know if you want to have the ability to post events of your own.

I'm personally meeting with a growing group in Northern Manhattan (seven at 
last nights meeting and still not everyone getting to the meeting; maybe a 
dozen or more on the periphery).  We also intend to purchase land (many 
separately with this vision) upstate as a group, but we also hope to keep our 
connections in the city.  I'm envisioning shared transportation resources 
(say a Sprinter made into a mini-bus) and several groups and properties 
within three hours of NYC (a rhizome network).  We meet every other week at 
the extreme northern tip of Manhattan (215th/Seaman), if you are interested 
(usually Wednesdays at 7PM).

Where you live in NYC may help determine with whom to organize.  I'm a long 
way from Brooklyn via subway (1+ to 2+ hours), so rarely make it to those 
events.  I'll let the Brooklyn folks respond for themselves.  We must have at 
least half a dozen different "clicks" of permies between all five boroughs 
and different groups organizing with Permaculture in mind.  I'm hopeful for 
us to learn to network and interact more than we do presently.

A critical mass of permies has also been building in the New Paltz area (much 
thanks to Geoff Lawton). 
Contact Wilton and Joan (Green Phoenix Permaculture) at 845-687-7646 to
get involved or just visit.

Sustainable Hudson Valley will be having
an event soon, as well.

I'll let the Albany and Fingerlakes folks answer for themselves, as well as 
Hancock Permaculture (Andrew?) and others (Ethan? Rafter? kevin?).  There is 
not a lack of activity by any means, just a lack of cohesiveness in terms of 
establishing a network.

Subject: [permaculture] Intro, new to list...


 Hey all,
I'm new to the list, single mom living in NYC and planning on buying a
little land upstate and putting up either a straw bale home or a cob.
 Anyone
in upstate NY doing this? Would very much like to connect with
 others... not
only upstate, but also in NYC. We're heading up to Saugerties this
 weekend
to look at places, so if anyone is building or living in earth homes
anywhere in NY State, I'd love to hear from you, as we try to figure
 out
where to look for land...limiting it to within 3 hours of NYC for ease
 of
traveling back and forth....
Thanks,
Britt
