Matt Kilby explains how to plant a tree on a swale. A very big Swale that is approximately 2 km in length. Matt explains his method for growing trees for maximum survival in a fairly harsh environment at Mulloon Creek Natural Farms near Canberra, Australia. Eventually this swale will support a forest of trees based on sustainable and sensible design,

Tony Andersen, Klimaforum09 organiser talks about the 10 000 Trees Strategy as a practical response to Climate Justice
Nicholas Roberts, Permaculture.TV founder is travelling to Copenhagen (Dec 5th to Dec 21st) primarily for Klimaforum09, with a special interest in covering the “Planetary Permaculture” or “Gaia Permaculture” currents running through the program.
As you can see from the Klimaforum09 online program, the International Permaculture Council and listen (mp3) and kind of read in “Planetary Permaculture: A Global Strategy for Climate Change – Tony Andersen of Klimaforum09” one of the key organisers of Klimaforum, Tony Andersen, is a Danish architect (in cooperative design, the Scandanavian participative or user-centered design tradition) and permaculturalist since the 1980s.
Klimaforum is part of a global permaculture design process that seeks to get activists and grassroots talking and working together, the research, develop and implement a radical, democratic, planetary permaculture program which is called 10 000 Trees: A Practical Strategy for Climate Change.
Klimaforum09 as Gaian User Centered Design
From the 10 000 Trees document, we get the outline of the project;
- THE 1 TON CO2 10.000 TREES PROJECT – overview of the problem and the solution
- Permaculture – the idea, practice and global and local success
- Climate Change – the massive catastrophic problem
- Carbon sink – a new category for locking, permanently ecology as carbon sinks in forest and soil
- More than 10,000 TREES per. person per. lifetime – a requirement for local-global perennial polycultural replanting
- Less than 1 TON CO2 pr. person pr. year – global energy descent and emissions reductions targets
- The U.N. Climate Conference 2009 / COP 15- the failure of the official process, danger of carbon finance
- Parallel activist and grassroots Conference – Klimaforum as user-centered permaculture design
- The Permaculture network – massively expanding a global, democratic, locally-controlled permaculture network
Its a radical scaling-up of the what the Transition Towns Movement describe as to “take responsibility for action and then unleash the creative genius that resides within us personally and collectively in our communities”.
Transition Towns focus on the level of small-towns. While the Klimaforum is operating globally, with grassroots and activists working together to unleash their own creativity within a commonly understood framework for radical global permaculture.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Ben Brangwyn of Transition Movement points out Technical point – Transition Initiatives exist in rural areas, villages, towns and cities. Am interested to know how the ideas of re-localisation can work on larger scales such as cities, such as Los Angeles.

Activist to Grassroots – Tony Andersen Klimaforum co-founder
In Activists to Grassroots, Tony discusses how activists need to start working with grassroots and create a new hybrid radical activist-grassroots persona.

Viktor Schauberger (30 June 1885 – 25 September 1958) was an Austrian forester/forest warden, naturalist, philosopher, inventor and Biomimicry experimenter.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4770477589537728517How was it possible for this fish to stand so motionlessly, only steering itself with slight movements of its tail-fins, in this wildly torrential flow, which made my staff shake so much that I could hardly hang onto it? What forces enabled the trout to overcome its own body-weight so effortlessly and quickly, and, at the same time, overcome the specific weight of the heavy water flowing against it?
Schauberger’s theories appear not to have received acceptance in the mainstream western scientific community, as replication proves either too difficult or results vary from previously published data. However, Schauberger’s work remains an inspiration to many people in the Green movement for his own observations of nature. Wikipedia

The grassroots mapping method, developed by Jeff Warren at MIT, is a brilliant little home brew solution to aerial photography. This particular PlayPhilly project was tested as a tool that can be used by the public as a playful act to stimulate social dialogue. By shooting the plazas from above, we can observe the movement and capacity of each space, and determine problem areas.

This is the new web presence of Eric Toensmeier, author of Perennial Vegetables and co-author of Edible Forest Gardens.
An overview of traditional indigenous management of landscapes and useful plants. Native people used (and today many still use) burning, horticultural practices, regenerative harvests, propagation and transportation of “wild” species, cultivation and domestication to create a productive landscape. Implications for permaculture, food forestry, and ecological restoration.
