Permaculture Research Institute for Cold Climate

Mission: The Permaculture Research Institute for Cold Climate promotes the
creation and refinement of sustainable models of human settlement in
cold temperate climates.

I just created a new group to explore permaculture ideas, to collect resources, and discuss/incubate permaculture projects. See http://socialsynergyweb.org/oardc/small-scale-farming-permaculture
