Yakima Beach Permacultural Collective

Rooted in the rich agricultural history of Naches Heights, we're bringing a fresh perspective and a personal touch to land stewardship by designing a space that nourishes community, fosters biodiversity and helps close the gaps in our energy and waste systems.

We believe the beauty of the canyon begets beauty. If you visit, we invite you to indulge your senses. Write. Draw. Paint. Dance. Sing. Breathe.

"With A Telescopic Rod on Cowiche Creek"

Here my assurance drops away. I lose
all direction. Gray Lady
onto moving waters.
My thoughts
stir like ruffed grouse
in the clearing across the creek.
Suddenly, as at a signal, the birds
pass silently back into pine trees.

In a nutshell, permaculture = earth care, people care, fair share.

Through the lens of ethics we are re-examining the relationships between energy, shelter, water, food, soil, climate. In the process, we also nourish relationships between people.

Our decisions are informed by systems thinking and our ethics align with the principles of human rights as extended to all living creatures.
