This group is for anyone with an interest in permaculture on the Isle of Wight (UK). This group is more than a virtual group since the Island group meet on the first Saturday of every month at various locations. Meetings uaually take the form of an activity, hedge planting, coppicing, charcoal making, followed by discussion. The group is friendly and welcoming of new members. There is no formal membership. You are welcome to join the site without attending group meetings and use this space for discussion on all aspects of permaculture. Documents and photos are welcome. Tell us what you doing, planning, any wants and needs, resources. A little note of why you would like to participate in this group is appreciated. There are also local groups such as the Ventnor group. Are you involved in other similar local groups such as Transition Island or National and International networks, feel free to share and enjoy. Dates of IW Permaculture Meetings are also available at http://ventnorpermaculture.wordpress.com/
