We have been working hard to re-establish Permaculture Tasmania as an active, vibrant group that serves the community. So, as President, let me take a few moments to personally thank our volunteer committee for all of the work which they have done and all of the hours and energy they have put in to make the organisation viable and successful. A heartfelt Thank You to Tania Brookes, Bruce Jackson, Dianne Anderson, Karen Hewitt, Suzi Read, Will Hu, Sam Nobes and Loretta Leary for all of your tireless work.
From re-establishing the website, to manning stalls at markets and festivals, to sourcing membership benefits for us all, to making cakes to welcome our community at The Gathering ; these jobs have all been done by volunteers, dedicated to spreading the ethos of permaculture living:
- Earth Care
- People care
- Fair Share
I hope you find these newsletters to be a great source of information, inspiration, validation, communication and conversation.
Let me know if there is something or someone that you would like us to add to or change in the newsletters; this is a huge learning journey for us and we are so happy that you have decided to join us along the way.

John Kane
President
