Permaculture Consultant, Designer & Teacher Founder of The Permaculture Project Permaculturist at Dayempur Farm (So. Illinois) Certified by Bill Mollison to Teach the Full Design Certification Courses First time father at 50 “I learned about much more from Wayne than just Permaculture.  His depth of understanding and his ability to convey it were impressive and inspiring.” (Peter Lynch –45– New York ‘Green’ Architect)

Wayne Weiseman has been certified by Bill Mollison and The Permaculture Institute of Australia to teach the Permaculture Design Certification Course.

Raised partly in the country as well as New York City, Wayne learned at a young age how to find solace in nature.  Wayne has been working with plants for as long as he can remember.

He has worked as a builder and contractor, herbalist, renewable energy expert, and farmer for the past twenty-five years. He currently focuses his energy at Dayempur Farm in Southern Illinois, a land-based, self-reliant community project, combining organic crop/food production, ecologically-built shelter, renewable energy, appropriate technologies and educational programs. He is also the Director of The Permaculture Project, a full-service, international consulting business promoting the ideas of eco-agriculture, renewable-energy resources and eco-construction methods. His skills in this area led him to leading a full permaculture design course for the staff and friends of the Findhorn Community in Scotland in the summer of 2005

Wayne has spent several years as a school teacher but more recently as a consultant to educators and administrators in curriculum and professional development. As a primitive wilderness instructor he relies on observation techniques and a thorough understanding of the natural world to assist his students. He has worked extensively with corporate executives in the arts of team building, nature study and the application of ideas in business and life, developed through the observation of the cycles and connections found in the natural world.

Wayne currently resides in Carbondale, IL, with his wife Frannie and their 5 year old daughter.
