I'm working with the Los Angeles Permaculture Guild, putting together
a monthly newsletter. Here's the 1st one. Subscriptions/submissions welcome.

February 2007
Welcome to the first issue of the Los Angeles Permaculture Guild's
monthly newsletter. There is a growing community of permaculture
friendly folks in our fair city. Some of us want to collaborate,
brainstorm, share resources, or hang out with each other - but
connecting in this vast geographic area can be tough. So the goal
here is to provide an avenue for communication and connection. See
the categories below and please send me your needs, resources,
surpluses etc. I will send this out as close to the first of each
month as I can. I hope it will enable like-minded people to find each
other and begin transforming LA into a sustainable human habitat.
peace,
Jennifer Murphy
