It’s permablitz planning season and you’re invited!
•Are you part of a community group that could benefit from increased access to your own fruits and vegetables? From reduced water or electricity bills?
•Are you an organization doing community organizing or direct support work that has an idea for the way that small-scale energy or food/medicine production could support your work?
•Are you a tenant or a renter in an urban area wanting to increase your access to fruits and vegetables, decrease water or electric bills, and learn about and demonstrate urban gardening techniques?
•Are you a property owner in a rural, urban, or suburban area looking to build your household’s resilience and also committed to building equity in your community by leveraging your property towards community benefit? (This could look like land sharing agreements, building a community gathering space, creating a neighborhood food distribution network with surplus, running a community research project on soil remediation, etc.)
The Resilience Hub is seeking proposals for projects to build community-scale resilience for this year’s season of permablitz work parties! To apply with your idea for hosting, fill out this form!
The Portland Permablitz Network organizes work parties to build projects that increase resilience through backyard or neighborhood food production, energy generation, water catchment, and community-building. We take a permaculture approach – a way of designing that mimics nature’s patterns. Together, we can accomplish in a day what it might take an individual or small group a whole season to complete. We will convene 5-6 permablitz work parties from May through November this year.
Do you know groups or individuals that might be interested? No permaculture experience necessary! Can you pass the word along?
To apply with a proposal for hosting, fill out this form by April 1!
Please contact Kate at kate@resiliencehub.org if you have any questions. Thanks so much!
