Welcome
Welcome to the new Permaculture Association website. We're very excited by the prospect of having more of you contributing your knowledge and building up a shared picture of what is happening, how you can get involved, and where the really useful resources are. The site is launched in 'beta mode' which means it is still a bit of a work in progress. There are a few elements that need another couple of weeks - you can't log on just yet - and we are very keen to get your comments on how we can improve it or fix any bugs we haven't spotted. The new site will make it much easier for members, volunteers, staff and trustees to add new content - an excellent way to develop our shared permaculture knowledge. A really big thanks to Debbie, Harriet, Paul Otto and 'menus and blocks' for all of their hard work in making the new website happen.
