While researching something else, I stumbled upon this:

http://www.agroforestry.net/tti/index.html

It has a free download of a PDF publication of data sheets for traditional Pacifica trees/bushes. They are individually available, or the entire set (849 pages) can be downloaded.

Tons of valuable info. I hope you can use this...enjoy.

Areas of work: agri- and horticulture, sustainability, tropics, food security, biodiversity, community development, natural resource management, international cooperation, climate, education, new economy, etc.

Sectors: business, government, NGOs

While the paradigm shift involved often makes the Permaculture Design Course (PDC) as such already a life changing experience, this opportunity offers added bonuses:
* the first in a longer series that are offered on site with support from the EU Grundtvig-program ‘Life Long Learning’
* in close, ongoing cooperation with local innovative actors from various sectors on Statia
* in the context of actual problems around food security, management of natural resources and climate change
* with input from an international team of experienced and inspired teachers in design and development of genuinely sustainable systems and resilient communities (incl. John Button, in PC from Mollison years)
* standard curriculum of PDC complemented with field work and research

Program:

Local participation is free up to max. capacity. The course is offered through the Comenius Training Database under number NL-2012-273-002, at http://bit.ly/rN2Wct

I'm looking for somewhere to study permaculture design in Hawaii.
I looking to relocate there from Canada by getting a student visa, loan, and all that, so I'm looking for something like a full-time course of study.
I can't seem to find anything like that in my google searches...
Can anyone help by pointing me in the right direction?
Thanks!
