Where to Find The Permaculture Signal Blog and Newsletter Signup on permaculture.org

Updated

Both are on the permaculture.org home page: The Permaculture Signal blog appears in the main content area under the "Our blog" label, and the newsletter signup sits further down the same page in a "Join Our Newsletter" block. The newsletter is tied to the Global Professional Permaculture Pathways Survey and is sent no more than once per month. Note that the Permaculture Institute, Inc. has announced it will close at the end of 2026, so treat the site as a time-limited resource.

Finding The Permaculture Signal

On the home page, look for the heading "The Permaculture Signal" in the body of the page, introduced by the line "Our blog." The blog index is labeled "All Posts," which is the entry point for browsing everything published there.

From the excerpt, the current posts cover:

  • Global Professional Permaculture Pathways Survey — aimed at people who have earned a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC), framed as a life-changing course experience, with a call to read the post.
  • Permaculture Institute: 30 Years — the announcement that the Institute will close at the end of 2026, described as a decision made "with thorough consideration and grateful hearts."

If you land on the home page and only see the tagline "Grow Ecological Culture," scroll past the hero area to the blog section rather than looking for a separate top-level blog domain.

Subscribing to the Newsletter

The signup block is headed "Join Our Newsletter" and explains the purpose directly: the Institute is "conducting research into professional permaculture pathways," and subscribers receive updates on that research.

What you agree to when you sign up:

Item Detail
Purpose Updates on research into professional permaculture pathways
Frequency No more than once per month
Data handling Covered by the site's Terms of Service, linked in the signup block

The frequency cap is the most useful practical detail — it tells you the list is low-volume, so subscribing won't flood your inbox.

What to Check Before You Rely on Either

  • Closure timeline. The Institute closes at the end of 2026. Anything you want to read, cite, or archive from The Permaculture Signal should be saved before then; there is no statement on the site about the blog or newsletter continuing past that date.
  • Survey eligibility. The newsletter is framed around the PDC-holder survey. If you don't hold a PDC, the updates may be less relevant, though the signup itself is not described as restricted.
  • Terms of Service. The data-use statement points to the Terms of Service rather than spelling out details in the signup block, so read that page if data handling matters to you.

Quick Answer

Go to permaculture.org, scroll to "The Permaculture Signal" for the blog (browse via "All Posts"), and continue down to "Join Our Newsletter" to subscribe — expect at most one email per month, tied to the professional pathways survey, with data governed by the site's Terms of Service.
