Permaculture Directory for the Maritime Pacific Northwest
File Attachments:
By Michael Pilarski
DRAFT, Version 2, November 22, 2014
In the three days since Version 1 went out, 21 people have sent feedback resulting in one deletion and 11 additions to this 2nd edition.
The following is the tip of the iceberg, but it is a start. For the time being this directory focuses on Washington and Oregon west of the Cascade crest. There is some information for western British Columbia as well and a bit in northern California. While northern California and coastal BC are part of the Cascadia bioregion, they have other permaculture organizations serving them and I am not as familiar with the permaculture situation there. Ideally, someone from those areas will put together a list for their regions. The long-term goal is to have credible directories for all regions of North America. I made a first edition of a nationwide list to take to NAPC. This first edition of the maritime PNW is another baby step forward. Let us inspire each other.
I have already done a Permaculture Directory for the Inland Northwest (Columbiana bioregion). Montana, Idaho and Washington and Oregon east of the Cascade Crest. It can be found at:
http://inlandnorthwestpermaculture.com/ click on INPC Directory.
This is not a list of permaculture design course graduates, which would be many times larger. It is a listing of people and entities who are publicly promoting permaculture. It is based on my personal knowledge (albeit incomplete memory) and some internet searching. I hope not too many people get mad at me for forgetting them in this first edition or for adding them to this list or misspelling names or getting numbers wrong. I did the best I could this first round and it can only get better.
Please send additions and changes.
If you are listed and wish to be removed let me know.
Michael Pilarski, Friends of the Trees Society

DIRECTORY ONLINE
The next step is to install input forms on one of the websites, so that people can add themselves, modify their listings, and add a photo if they wish. The Directory will become an expanding, crowd-sourced, public project.

SOME PERMACULTURE PEOPLE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Note that some of these people may not be active at this time. Some may have moved out of the region. More permaculturists are moving to the Northwest all the time from other parts of the country and the world. I list the primary (or secondary affiliation) of the people where known. Some I have contact info for and others not. Again this is just the first draft. Help fill in the details.
[Further contact info for many of these people can be found under the organization/company index where their affiliation is noted.]

BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
“Approximately 15 years ago, the first permaculture courses were offered in Canada in the southern interior of BC and on the west coast, having migrated up from California and the Pacific northwest of the United States. This was soon followed by permaculture courses and communities emerging in Quebec and Ontario. In the last 5-7 years, however, permaculture has seen tremendous growth in Canada with some level of permaculture activity in most Canadian provinces. Many Canadians have received permaculture training overseas and, upon return to their home communities have attempted to organize permaculture communities and activities.” Quote from an article at http://theurbanfarmer.ca/resources/permaculture-design/
if you scroll to the end of the article you will find a long list of permaculture organizations and resources in Canada.
To be precise, the first permaculture design course held in Canada was taught 26 years ago in the summer of 1988 at Linnaea Farm on Cortes Island, BC (off the middle inside edge of Vancouver Island). I know because I (Michael Pilarski) taught the course along with Simon Henderson, Rick Valley and others. The course followed on the heels of the 3rd North American Bioregional Congress which had just been held in Squamish, BC. I also taught a pdc near Ashcroft BC in 1993 at a 1700-acre Hare Krishna community and in 1994 on Denman Island, BC. Lots has happened in BC since then.
Cottonwood Gardens, Vancouver, BC
Cottonwood Community Gardens is (I believe) Canada's oldest public permaculture demonstration project as I (Oliver Kellhammer) designed many of the early 'food forest' plantings along permaculture lines and use sheet mulching, companion planting, stacking. It has been going since 1992.
