Permaculture

"Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted & thoughtful observation rather than protracted & thoughtless labour; of looking at plants & animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single-product system."
Bill Mollison (from the permaculture.net website)

At Clearwater Designs, we embrace the philosophies and teachings of Permaculture and strive to integrate those ideas into our designs. We believe that this is the best way to be environmentally conscious and responsible designers both for the best interests of our clients and our community.

Below you will find several articles that detail some of the main tenets of Permaculture, along with resources for continued study.
