Building the Permaculture Network: Bringing Solutions to Communities
Regional awareness about the need and potential for an ecological and sustainable society is growing. Imminent and ongoing changes in climate, energy, land-use, and food systems require new thinking and strategies to address these opportunities. As a wholistic perspective and integrated design system, permaculture is an ideal answer to such challenges.
PINE is a regional permaculture and sustainability umbrella organization in the Northeast U.S. It supports local and regional societal change based on ecological and social justice principles. PINE aims to bring together and support communities through education, grant writing and outreach.
What We Do
- Promote the vision of permaculture as a regional strategy for regenerative stewardship raising awareness about ecological land-use, planning and design, sustainable resource use, and energy production.
- Support organizations and efforts to demonstrate, practice and educate about Permaculture, Sustainability and Ecological Design.
- Help advance research efforts in Permaculture techniques and approaches appropriate to the Northeast.
