Do you have the desire to start a land-based business that is resilient to climate change, energy decline, economic restructuring and peak everything? The NorthTec Horticulture Dept is offering a “Sustainable Rural Development Level 4” in Silverdale with Transition Town organisers and tutors Gawain Sharp and Betsy Kettle. Gawain has a business planning background and Betsy has experience designing organic permaculture/ horticulture properties.

Earthcare Education Aotearoa is excited to start offering Rural Living Skills & Practice Internship Courses for Permaculture Design Graduates at Tui Comunity, Golden Bay, next year.
This will be an opportunity to advance your skills under experienced guidance and implement some of your own designs. A 10-week course will run from mid March to end of May 2011, following the PDC in February. Details are still under development. You can express you interest from now on and I will keep you posted on the development.
