Thank you for renewing your Permaculture Association membership.
As a small, grassroots organisation with big ambitions, we rely on membership to fund much our core work.
Here are some of the ways your membership contributes to our work and the permaculture movement:
Education
With 40 years of supporting schools, colleges, universities, farms, gardens and individual lives - our education is transforming the world we live in. We are leaders in nature-based solutions.
On average 600 students a year earn a Permaculture Association PDC certificate, through our PDC curriculum.
Our course listings page is the most popular page on our website, providing learners with both tailored searches for their area and online learning listings for hundreds of courses per year.
Since our online learning platform began we have provided accessible and affordable education to over 800 learners.
Our education network is a rich and international mix of over 150 educators, tutors, facilitators and changemakers; all working together in their respective fields, to improve the quality and accessibility of education. We have partnerships with over 500 educators worldwide with a focus on improving lives.
Climate Action
Our 52 Climate Actions website has over 50k unique visitors. The website maintenance and continued work on sharing simple positive climate actions is funded through our membership.
Project & LAND
With over 660 project and LAND members, our growing network of permaculture sites are the shining examples of how permaculture can be applied in community gardens, ecotherapy centers, regenerative projects, small holdings and allotments to name but a few.
Our series of online masterclasses, skills sharing events and partnership have helped to foster new connections and support the growth of small permaculture projects into flourishing, successful ventures.
How can we help you?
Marketing support
We actively promote our member's work through our monthly newsletters, social media and the Permaculture Community Hub.
Each month, we feature a member on our blog and work with them to coordinate promotional activity for their organization.
Movement building
Our journal Permaculture Works is a 64-page in-depth feature journal which explores regenerative issues in depth and with consideration about the future. We have moved to a programme of online Digital Campfire events where we invite our members to join us, as changemakers, and explore a new future.
Signposting and support
We support over 2000+ members and thousands of members of the public on their permaculture journey, dealing with hundreds of requests each day. From enquiries about learning pathways, support with funding applications or how to embed permaculture into the curriculum, we are the national body supporting the permaculture movement in Great Britain.
