What we’re about
Portland Maine Permaculture is a meetup group organized by The Resilience Hub. We are a resource for people who want to regenerate land, grow food, and build community. We strive to create functional examples of thriving local communities and abundant, healthy ecosystems.
Meetup is the tool we use to manage RSVP, photos and comments for more than sixty events every year.
We are about developing solutions, connections, techniques and skills. This group is about learning new skills and sharing your experiences, recognizing that none of us can do this alone.
Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, there is some part of this group that probably makes sense for your life and your relationship to the landscape and community where you live and work. Join us.
We organize skill-shares, workshops, work parties, permablitzes, full permaculture courses, conferences, guest speakers, movie nights, field trips and more.

Upcoming events (2)
See all- ADOPT SOME CHICKENS and help The Friends School's Kindergarten Class -Needs location
---THIS IS NOT AN EVENT. IT IS A REQUEST FROM OUR COMMUNITY---
Active until April 11th
The following community ask comes from Carie and her Kindergarten Class at The Friends School in Portland:
“The Friends School of Portland’s kindergarten class hatches chicks in the classroom each spring. After hatching, the chicks are given to someone who wants to raise them for eggs.
This year we are hoping to connect with an urban farmer or two through The Resilience Hub that might want to add backyard chickens to their food acquisition plans. The un-sexed hatchlings will be ready to go to their forever homes by April 11th.
Please reach out to carie@friendsschoolportland if you are interested in this possibility or if you have any questions!”
