Welcome to the Autumn edition of the Permaculture Tasmania (PT) newsletter!
Things are looking bright in 2026 with the launch of our new logo, a fresh new outlook on a permaculture institution and lots of excitement around the future.
The PT committee spent a day together in January working on a Strategic Plan for the next 5 years. This day was facilitated by Management Consultant Rhianna Casey, gratis! We are so grateful to Rhianna for donating her time and expertise to create a clear pathway for the future growth of Permaculture Tasmania.
From here, we will overhaul our governance and steam forth into a new phase of growth, leadership and connection. We look forward to sharing what we’ve learned with everyone in the PT family. Watch for a survey invitation as we seek to find out what YOU, the membership, wants to focus on most. Please consider joining us in this interesting, important and rewarding work by checking out the open committee positions listed on our website. We are always seeking enthusiastic, engaged people to help the permaculture and wider communities grow and thrive.
The organisational work we’ve been doing parallels what’s happening outside this season—enjoying a harvest to be grateful for, and getting the autumn and winter planting done so that the yields keep on coming.
Hope you are enjoying the advent of cooler weather and the return of the rains to Tassie.
Be well and be sure to reach out to say G’day!
With love and sunshine,

John Kane
