Hello All

With less than a fortnight before submissions to the winter edition
of the PiNZ Newsletter close, we have unfortunately received NO
CONTENT from the membership... This means that the coming newsletter
is looking like it will be very bare indeed.

The Newsletter Team have worked hard over the last three issues, streamlining
the process of compiling, producing and delivering the quarterly
Newsletter, so that PiNZ has a robust tool to help connect, inform
and disseminate information about all the outstanding.

Permaculture initiatives that are happening down the length and breadth
of  Aotearoa. But our actions can only go so far what we need is
input from YOU to make this newsletter a success.

So please, if you can, find the time to write up what YOU are doing, or
what is going on in YOUR Bioregion and for those that did make it to
the Hui, get together with some like minds and put your names down.

as a Project Team/Whanau Group we would all love to know what juicy plans
you and your team have for 2010/2011

So come on people, its time to submit!

Please keep all articles plain text between 300-500 words, send
photos as attachments and have them submitted to info [at] permaculture [dot] org [dot] nz

Annual Hui - draft programme updated

31/03/2010 Annual Hui draft programme description

This year we will present a schedule that has a mix of open forums, site visits, and pre-planned workshops. The open forums will allow time and space for discussions on various topics decided on by the membership. These sessions will be scheduled at the start of the event.

Site visits have been scheduled to local permaculture properties in Raglan, ranging from small to commercial scale.
There are also a wide range of skills training workshops planned. Some of the workshops that have been scheduled so far are: DYI composting toilets and urinals, Introduction to Experiential Education, Tree Care,  How to Make Our Own Money, Permaculture in Schools, and Restoring New Zealand’s Watersheds.
There is still room in the schedule for more workshops. If you have a skill or presentation to share, we are eager to hear from you. It is a great opportunity for us to share knowledge within our community.

Please remember to register before April 9th

The Permaculture in NZ Executive are thrilled to announce that the 2010 Annual Permaculture Hui will be held in Whaingaroa Raglan and designed by the Whaingaroa Community Team. Breaking from tradition, this years' Hui will be held on the weekend of Friday April 16th to Sunday April 18th . The Hui this year has the privilege of being hosted at the Kokiri, the home and base of Eva Rickard. The event will include lots of local gems including site visits to places like X-treme Waste, Whaingaroa Environment Centre, Solscape, and other local properties. Several practical, hands on workshops are already being planned. 

30/08/09               Changes are afoot .... as you may have noticed!

We have added a "Recent Comments" and "Upcoming Events" to the right hand side to make new content more instantly visible.

We have added "Recent Posts" to the Navigation menu on the left hand side. Again, we are looking to make new content more visible and particularly address the issue of forum posts not showing up in RSS feeds.

We have also pruned the Navigation menu on the left hand side. "My Blog" and "Classified Ad" have been removed, but rest assured, you can still access those from "Create Content" on the right hand side.

More changes are to come...we are still redesigning but will notify users of upcoming changes as soon as the design and implementation details are finalised.

Permaculture in New Zealand's mission is to act as a national hub in promoting and empowering permaculture education, activism and advocacy in Aotearoa NZ.

Our website aims to help people interested in and practicing permaculture within Aotearoa to keep in touch and share information.

If you're new to the concept of permaculture and it's strategies, the principles and ethics are a good starting point.

Alternatively, you can copy the text from the application form, add your details and email it to info (at) permaculture.org.nz and make your payment by direct credit.
