Permaculture Perspectives-Lee Barnes Interview

About this episode

A candid conversation with Lee Barnes about his work in permaculture and bioregions.

Such a gem of a gentleman! Sit back and enjoy this candid frolicking conversation with a dear colleague who's work I have admired for decades. Apologies for how low the volume is on my voice you will hear Lee beautifully. Lee Barnes wrote the Permaculture Principles document that Peter Bane and Chuck Marsh gave us in 1996 at The Farm for my PDC. I use them in my courses to this day, 29 years later! Lee is good friends with Chuck, who died way too young, and Peter Bane ,who keeps on trucking and inspiring waves of budding Permaculture Designers, you will hear us explore all of Lee's passions and ongoing work. Lee says Bioregions are our life place and Permaculture provides the solutions needed for each Bioregion. Lee is in the Katuah Bioregion , Helene handed them a serious weather disaster that they will be rebuilding from with Permaculture in mind and Lee's dowsing intuition to help guide the energy. https://pcx.earth/ https://pcx.earth/disaster/
