  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 www.permaforesttrust.org.au to join. Summary of changes and links to our website postings listed below. Please email 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.

   We are pleased to announce that current Permaforest Trust manager, Jerome Santospirito, will shortly be co-owner of the Permaforest Trust sustainability education centre and demonstration farm. Jerome along with partner and long time Permaforest Trust participant, Kaylah Ferguson, will make the Trust property their home. Jerome plans to scale up the organic farming operations, manage Accredited Permaculture Training interns in the fine art of commercial organic growing and continue to develop the Permaforest Trust education center (more on planned developments for the centre in future updates). Jerome will also be assisting with training and assessment in the 2008 Byron Bay Accredited Permaculture Training program. 
  
   Tim's Era of Post Carbon Transition video/powerpoint is now available for viewing at http://bb.r2b2.net/postcarbonv2/The%20Era%20of%20Post%20Carbon%20Transition.html This is a part of our initial foray into creating rich media resources for the web- we are calling it our 'Low Fi is the New Hi Fi' series. We will post related content in future updates. 
  
   Trust member and former Accredited Permaculture Training student Tiku Peters is now working on a project in India. See http://www.permaforesttrust.org.au/Members/kaylahferguson/vrikshayurveda-the-science-of-plant-life/ for a report on her encounter with the ancient Indian science of Vrikshayurveda.
  That's all for now. All the best from the Permaforest Trust crew,
   
  Tim
