The Wilder Institute
Next Generation Permaculture

Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Wilder website.

We hope you enjoy learning about our programs, projects and practices for building thriving and abundant communities. Our team works mostly in the Pacific Northwest, Central America, and Hawai'i, and we collaborate extensively with a dynamic network of permaculturalists throughout the world.

Our mission is to:

Teach and practice sustainable design
Promote intergenerational skill-sharing
Develop and showcase appropriate technologies
Support local economies and self-sufficiency initiatives
Create a network of permaculture plant nurseries
Eat delicious locally grown food with friends and neighbors
Consume less, share more, and have fun!

Here you'll find information about our design courses, workshops, ongoing design projects, plant nurseries, and plans for a new Sustainable Design Institute in Port Townsend, Washington.

"Conscious permaculture design reweaves the web of fertile and sophisticated landscapes where humans, plants, animals, and our collective spirits belong and are welcome."
