Cory Brennan Permaculturalist and founder of Create Clearwater

CORY BRENNAN is very much a voice to be heard in the Tampa Bay area on the subject of permaculture.

She’s studied under several of the top permaculturalists in the United States and has much experience in helping groups establish food forests and sustainable practices.

Soon after moving to the Tampa Bay area she and a group like-minded individuals (including all of our experts) formed Create Clearwater, whose goal is to make Clearwater a sustainable community.  The Create Clearwater community website has gone on to become recognized throughout the US as a model website for other groups to emulate for its wealth of information, community involvement and participation.

Cory is also head of the Permaculture Guild of St. Petersburg, a lecturer on the subject of sustainability and permaculture and offers permaculture training several times a year.
