There is a growing movement in Maine and around the world that utilizes sustainability as the basis for designing landscape and building systems. Permaculture is a design system that was established over thirty years ago and has been growing ever since. One of the central ideas of permaculture is to design landscapes in a way that they produce more energy than they consume. We are fortunate to have several active permaculture communities in Maine that are dedicated to teaching and learning and supporting the expansion of permaculture methods.
