[Trusties] Permaforest Trust July 07 Update- Big Changes- Taking Itto the Next Level

[Sally Mackinnon]

Hi Tim,
 
This is all great - you're well on your way and it's lovely to see the
public announcements. Congratulations!
 
This morning I began research on the bioregional campus and sustainable
education brokering enterprise and will now continue that in earnest. At
the Foundation's Board meeting yesterday, the Board expressed their
interest and approval for both our development of a partnership and the
education brokering idea. I'd like to shortly create an enterprise plan
or at least an overview so that the Foundation can begin to link with
other key stakeholders to get the idea off the ground in a way that
supports your 2008 course/s. I'll also get onto drafting the MoA between
PFT and EF this week and email this to you.
 
All systems go!
best wishes,
sal

Hi Folks,
 
Permaforest Trust has been undergoing some big changes lately. They're
all about helping make our work more accessible and about taking
Permaforest Trust into the next phase of development. We'd like to thank
you all for your support so far and to invite you to remain involved as
we move forward. We're changing the nature of these updates to provide
you with resources for 'Post Carbon Transition'- tools for community
adaptation to peak oil, climate change and other limits to growth.  We'd
like to invite you to join our website (membership now free) and our
'Trusties' email list for post carbon resources and discussion. See
HYPERLINK
"http://www.permaforesttrust.org.au"www.permaforesttrust.org.au to join.
Summary of changes and links to our website postings listed below.
Please email HYPERLINK
"mailto:info at permaforesttrust.org.au"info at permaforesttrust.org.au if you
would like to be removed from this list. 

*	Permaforest Trust's Certificate 4 and Diploma in Accredited
Permaculture Training will be run in Byron Bay starting March 2008. The
program will train 'Post Carbon Professionals' with a focus on
integrating traditional hands on permaculture techniques and design with
community development and project management skills.

Accredited Permaculture Training interns in the fine art of commercial

That's all for now. All the best from the Permaforest Trust crew,
