CORNISH ECO RETREAT Come back to Earth and stay in our little paradise on the south coast of Cornwall. We have 3 yurts, a shepherd’s hut and strawbale barn and love people to come and get inspired by the surrounding nature and wildlife. Cotna is just a woodland walk away from the coast path and quiet beaches, ideal for wild swimming & kayaking. We offer practical courses such as no-dig, foraging and sourdough breadmaking.

PERMAYOUTH – from refugee camps to metropolises, we are a network of teenagers from all over the world. Collectively, we want to make a positive change in our communities and we’re using permaculture to do it. We believe there is a need to rapidly shift to a one-planet life, to regenerate and repair the planet and become carbon neutral by 2030. We are for teens and our allies and include guest speakers, garden tours, [PR]Activism, the Arts and workshops. Take part in our free online monthly festivals. Details: www.permayouth.org

DONATE. Your generosity continues to allow Permaculture magazine to support people and communities around the world. Donations mean that together we can supply subscriptions and key books to permaculture projects without access to currency: www.permaculture.co.uk/donate
Permaculture magazine is receiving more and more requests for acknowledgement and support. Requests come from those being impacted today by climate change and those living in refugee camps who want to help their children learn, adapt and live more resilient lives. These donations allow us to reach these people who are making real differences within their communities.
The World Forest Organisations’ thank you letter here is an example of the positive impact we can make to people such as Eva Jefa in Kenya.
Permaculture magazine also seeks to pair up projects with expert mentors and volunteers (keep an eye on the Classified and News pages for these requests).
Donate today and we can get key texts to projects in time for their academic years. We always welcome large contributions, but even the smallest contribution you can make will go a long way. 100% of the money goes to supporting permaculture people and projects, wherever they may be.
