>The Permaculture Institute of Northern California (PINC) is an educational
>organization providing courses and workshops that enable people to develop
>the skills necessary to live a more sustainable life on the planet.
>
>PINC is located in a developing permaculture garden in the Tomales Bay
>watershed, on the Point Reyes Seashore, in Northern California.
>
>The garden includes examples of straw bale and cob construction, a grey
>water system, chicken tractors, ducks, rainwater catchment systems, solar
>dryer, herb spiral, earthen wood-fired oven, food forest, ponds and
>waterfalls.
>
>WHAT IS PERMACULTURE?
>
>Permaculture or "permanent culture" is the practice of creating
>mutually beneficial relationships with the natural world.
>
>Permaculture designs are a synthesis of ancient traditions,
>appropriate technologies, and an enlivened connection with nature.
>
>Recognizing the creative role that humans play in the cycles
>that support life, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren pioneered
>permaculture in the 1970s. As we move into the 21st century,
>tens of thousands of people around the planet now practice permaculture.
>
>The global permaculture community actively evolves through workshops,
>journals, books, web sites, design certification courses, and most
>importantly through personal experimentation. People inspired
>by this exploration manifest a vision of bounty and ecological balance
>in their gardens, homes, workplaces, and communities.
>
>If you wish to experience permaculture in action, join us at the
>Permaculture Institute for a garden tour, workshop, design course,
>or an overnight stay.
