[Trusties] Permaforest Trust Goes to Town

[timwinton]

Hi all,

We have made a major decision to relocate the Trust's sustainability 
training program to Byron Bay. With climate change and energy decent 
becoming major issues the Trust is going to focus on community strategies 
and programs for post carbon transition. There are other aspects to the 
decision, like being able to scale up the training program, give students 
more options for training, work and play and a desire to move on after 10 
years at Barkers Vale and get back onto the leading edge of sustainability 
work with our hard won experience.

The hardest part of all this is leaving the land. I know some of you will 
find this hard to imagine and it has been a real struggle for Nicole and I, 
but with a young family our lives have migrated to the suburbs. And so has 
our work with the Trust.

There hasn't been any discussion on this list yet, but I'm keen to hear what 
you all have to say about our big move and the possibilities that it offers 
for making the program more relevant in these very interesting times.

Cheers,

Tim
