<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Hügelkultur: <i>A permaculture farming technique from Germany.</i> </blockquote>
<div class="r" style="text-align: left;">
Here is the progression from Silver Maple to mound, which began in late spring and took much of the summer, off and on. Rather than let all the carbon stored in the wood of the tree rot and escape back into the atmosphere, I decided to bury as much as possible in a pit and pile up the wood into a hugelkultur (mound), which I would cover with soil and grow on. The rotting logs become like sponges and help water the plants and trees growing on and around the mound, and help build up a rich ecosystem of mycelia.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
* <i>If you have a bad back or you don't want to spend weeks digging the pit, rent a bobcat or backhoe. Actually, you only need to dig down a little bit so you have soil to pile on top of the mound.</i></blockquote>

WHAT IS A PEOPLES MOVEMENT ASSEMBLY?<br />
<br />
A People's Movement Assembly (PMA) is a gathering of people (25, 250 or more!) who come together to identify community issues, discuss solutions, and commit to actions.<br />
<br />
The Assembly is an organizing tool . . .<br />
<br />
BEFORE the FORUM: Communities, movement sectors, and regions will gather, reflect, discuss, and articulate the big issues facing our world as well as explore strategic solutions and alternative practices. Communities make commitments at the Assemblies about how to get to the Forum, what to bring to the Forum, and what to bring back.<br />
<br />
DURING the FORUM: Organizations will collaborate to hold Assemblies throughout the five days of the Forum to culminate in a national Peoples Movement Assembly on the last day.<br />
<br />
AFTER the FORUM: Coordinated actions across the country! The Assembly process offers the opportunity to collectively create action plans and political directions for our movements in the US, our regions, and our local communities.<br />
<br />
Currently Planned People's Movement Assemblies include:<br />
