2027 Permaculture Neighborhood Proposition

We are looking for 30-40 individuals that want to work together to significantly change their neighborhood by starting backyard and public food forests, permaculture businesses or both. By registering your interest below, we will inform our elected officials and governmental agencies that we are serious about doing the work required to take responsibility for our health and our future. We are currently seeking sponsorship to assist with funding development projects and startup businesses. Some of the individuals and organizations that have already expressed interest in supporting this initiative include: Children’s Services (Neighborhood Initiative), South Florida Hunger Coalition, City of Lauderhill (Commissioner Melissa Dunn), and the Sierra Club.
