I am a permaculture designer, educator, community change agent and the chairperson of Permaculture in New Zealand (PiNZ). My vision is for the organisation (PiNZ) to be a national driver supporting the development and implementation of projects that promote effective social and ecological design solutions, land stewardship, community development and bioregional resilience in Aotearoa New Zealand.
I think the highlight of my week (excluding the Annual Hui) was running into 4 other Auckland permies (whom I had seen at the Hui last weekend as well) at a Climate Change flash mob on Vulcan Lane downtown Auckland yesterday. It was great to see wide-eyed, and bright smiley activists on the scene.
I look forward to more events and opportunities to grow and develop our Auckland permaculture community.
