We are dedicated to promoting, teaching, learning and developing the broad philosophy and design tools of permaculture in this stretch of the Connecticut River watershed. Our activities include work projects, study groups on specific topics, field trips, lectures and workshops, developing publicity and forums, and attempts to change the general culture to reflect the permaculture principles.  We strive to make learning about permaculture and regenerative or ecological design accessible to as many people as possible.  At the same time we value the importance of consistency and continuity amongst our members.  We support each other in our projects, and live by the principle of 'Sharing the Surplus' of our endeavors in order to foster a regenerative local economy.
