Kootenay Permaculture Institute

The Kootenay Permaculture Institute is a centre for research and education in Permaculture & ecological living.

Permaculture Design in British Columbia
Winter 2006-2007

The Kootenay Permaculture Institute was formed in 1991 to do some research and education in Permaculture and ecological living in British Columbia and across Canada. The Institute is designing and implementing permaculture principles and techniques on a ten acre piece of land in the Slocan Valley situated in the West Kootenay in British Columbia, Canada.  It is an ideal site for people to come to learn and practice Permaculture. The Institute keeps in touch with both the local and the international network of people working with various approaches to sustainable & ecological living.
