Permaculture
From the beginning, permaculture has been at the core of Project Maya’s values. From both personal and academic experiences, the founders viewed permaculture as a viable and credible solution to many of the world’s environmental issues. We define permaculture as short-hand for "Permanant Culture". The ethics of permaculture are a philosophical guide to help make good decisions for a sustainable world. Central to this are the ethics of Earthcare (e.g. restoring soils, habitats and wildlife, recycling and producing no pollution), Peoplecare (e.g. promoting human health and well-being, right livelihoods, and happy communities), and Fairshare (e.g. co-operation, fairly distributing resources and wealth). It was a natural fit therefore for permaculture to be Maya’s guiding set of values and principles and key to the management of Maya Reserves.
In the heart of Clawton, straddling the border between Devon and Cornwall, lies Luna Meadow Nature Reserve, a once monoculture farmland now on its way to becoming a thriving ecosystem. Maya Project proudly announces its latest venture, a commitment to restore and rejuvenate this precious piece of land into a haven for biodiversity
