May 2021
Covid-19 restrictions are easing, which is great news. Here at Brighton Permaculture Trust we are looking forward to delivering more of our courses, events and volunteering opportunities..
Our strategy through to summer 2022 will be to continue to deliver most of our activities outdoors or online. The reason for this is that our usual indoor venues are small and difficult to use with any social distancing in place.
Volunteering
We have lots of regular weekly volunteering opportunities. To be kept informed of what volunteering opportunities are coming up please sign up to our volunteer email list.
Courses
Our Introduction to permaculture and Permaculture design courses are being run as virtual lessons with optional in-person visits. More dates for these courses will be announced soon.
The Self-building an Earthship in Europe virtual course is entirely online.
We are adapting many of our other courses to be delivered outside or via a mix of Zoom sessions and outdoor practical sessions.
We have suspended booking on many of our in-person weekend courses for the time being. Please contact us via the relevant course page to be added to a waiting list. We will re-open bookings when we have confirmed course dates, letting the people on the waiting list book first.
If you have a course booking you need to discuss please contact us
Events
We have just had a very successful Apple Blossom tour in Home Farm Orchard at Stanmer. We are planning another orchard tour when the apples are ready for harvest later this year. Please sign up to our newsletter to hear about this and any other events.
