Paul has combined his interests in nature and design to offer a permaculture design, drone mapping, and orchard care service from his home in Ireland since 2016. With a formal educational and professional background in engineering and design, he brings these skills into his design service. His home also functions as a testing ground for various permaculture methods and ideas, including vegetable growing, rainwater harvesting, stream water abstraction and filtration, drone mapping, fruit tree grafting for nursery establishment, grafting to mature trees, plant propagation from cuttings, seed saving, hot composting, solar PV generation, pig & chicken tractor systems, natural building, forest garden guilds, and sheet mulching.
Paul has completed two Permaculture Design Certificates (PDCs), one in 2010 in Devon and the other in 2015 in Ireland. In 2019, he undertook a permaculture teacher training course (TPT), followed by a "Train the Trainer" course in 2021, which is a State-certified teaching qualification. He teaches in-person introduction to permaculture courses as well as specialist courses on design, orchard care, and hot composting, among other subjects. Paul is on the Certified Teachers Register of the UK Permaculture Association and is available to guest teach on PDCs both in Ireland and internationally.

Leszek Frankiewicz is a permaculture designer and owner of a farm in Beskid Wyspowy. He graduated from permaculture studies with Geoff Lawton, receiving a PDC designer diploma. He then deepened his knowledge with Daniel Halsey, and since then he has been using advanced IT tools for designing.
He is a member of the United Designers team, created by Dan Halsey, a team that has been doing advanced permaculture projects around the world for many years. Being part of this team allows him to use the knowledge and resources of this group, which also carried out advanced projects in Poland.
He gains practical skills at home, 'on the field' near Limanowa.
In his opinion, this is the best combination of activities to become an increasingly competent designer-practitioner.

63. Regenerative V Permaculture Design

This week we have a roundtable. Cormac is joined by Sarah Spencer, Christopher Nesbitt and Joshua Prieto.
This was inspired by Sarahs LinkedIn article here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/permaculture-compared-other-regenerative-disciplines-sarah-spencer--n8roe?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&utm_campaign=share_via
Maya Mountain Research Farm in Belize and the local area has been devastated by fires. From Gofundme: "Christopher and Celini and their neighbours continue to fight devastating wildfires that are ravaging their farms and communities. This is a truly heart-breaking event and they are no doubt exhausted and traumatized by the relentlessness of these fires. Christopher and Celini’s farm is a treasure to the world and our future in it. Let’s help them rebuild their vital vision."
