Russ has been working for decades in the Solomon Islands promoting permaculture with his project http://pacific-edge.info/ He began his permaculture journey in 1985 and has been active in the movement ever since. He will be a great inspiration and leader at our mini-conference.

Why Do I need to Book and buy a ticket when we are talking about Gift Economy and Sharing?
In 2013, April, Paul, Terry and 400 other permaculture travellers went to the Cuban International Permaculture Conference. It was a great conference with one tiny detail that resulted in a monumentous mishap – noone limited the intake! This resulted in serious overcrowding, hunger, sickness and illwill. In contrast, the 2015, Permaculture Bio-regional Conference organised by SCAPA of Bega was amazing where everyone had a seat, felt welcome and enjoyed the weekend.
We really want you to enjoy this minconference, build goodwill and learn from one another. Please book and please share this with other people if you are unable to come. We promise to turn people away if they haven’t booked and we don’t have the capacity to serve them.
