Hi, my name is Wilson Newman, I'm fresh out of tertiary education and ready to do some real learning and work. I had a attraction to architecture from an early age, always drawing plans for buildings and gardens. I studied architecture at Philadelphia University, but finished my degree in historic preservation at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau. Of course, during my studies in secondary schooling, I supplemented my formal education with an understanding of human affairs, World and American governmental policy, political theory and philosophy, and sustainable activities. During my last year in school, I needed to figure out what was most needed to support social change, which led to permaculture and sustainability.
This spring I'm planning to begin a small scale permaculture garden at my parent's home, and a larger garden at my grandmother's farm. My family have been agriculturists for generations, and while the tilled land will still be rented to local farmers, I hope to expand permaculture principles to as much of the area as possible. The site already has a well established pond for aquaculture, surrounded by unused land. I eventually want to purchase land and establish a permaculture learning center near a metropolitan area.
I hope to learn more from the forum and other places like it!
