Social Forestry is the cultural way of being engaged with our uplands and margins. Most of modern forestry has been extractive and industrial. We can learn from the landscape what works in the long run while supporting sustainable lifestyles and vernacular art and celebration. Come along for the vision and stories, stay for the skills and practices. We can become People of Place if we pay attention and close our loops. Read more.

A Statement of Response from the USA Permaculture Community to the Emerging Political Crisis
A group of permaculturists worked for several weeks to craft this statement, and is asking people to sign on to show their support. If you sign, it takes you to a list of suggested actions. This group is also working on a toolkit emphasizing mutual aid, building alliances, and more. Here’s the post with link to the PIMA Statement to sign.
