Project Summary

The Forever Forestry Initiative is a project sponsored by the largest steel manufacturing company in East Africa for the purposes of re-foresting the entire African contenent through the provision of free training, consultation, and design services which will be spread through a dynamic and ever growing group of certified foresters who can make a living out of interacting as Guild members of the project to provide tangible solutions to the entire Continent of Africa from the most biologically diverse country within it: Uganda.

Project Description

FF, Forever Forestry was created out of the desire to provide the East African regions most profitable steel products manufacturer with the best possible social responsability project. Out of this goal Aaron Elton provided a comprehensive and self sustaining plan of generating a guild of designers who are supported by this company to recieve training, continual information support, and an ever growing geographical database of organic genetics, aka large scale dynamic nurseries.

Our first location is set to be constructed on a 1.5 acre site within the primary headquarters of the Roofings Group within uganda; the top provider of steel products for the east african region. This site will include a training center, nurseries, and a range of sustainble examples for the average African home. This center will be the first of a series of self generating nurseries which will provide our designers with intelectual and physical resources to encourage the re-forestation of the african contenent in many years to come with a sincere and dedicated focus on the emediate needs of rural families and communities. Though the project is a corporate responsability project, it is entirely based upon permaculture principles and has been forcasted through many years experience to be a sure way to make the healthy re-establishment of natural and abundant eco systems a profitable and handsome lifestyle for all of our clients.

I believe this was the type of relationship, that being between the massive industrial complex and the local dig duggers that mr. mollison had dreamed about during his trippy trips in Africa at the beggining of his permaculture crusade.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
