Permaculture Lifestyle Institute

The Permaculture Lifestyle Institute provides communities with information and education about permaculture systems so that they can develop climate resilient, ecologically sensitive, culturally relevant, and sustainable infrastructure systems.  The nonprofit’s services include climate resilient community infrastructure planning, design, and engineering; demonstration site development; community engagement and participatory research; and permaculture design certification.  One innovative project is the Swan Creek Food Forest, a permaculture planting designed and developed with local residents, and one that local residents will continue to care for and eventually harvest.
