Acorn Planning & Design (AP&D) is a consulting firm with offices in Newmarket NH and Scarborough ME. We provide in-person services throughout New England and virtual services for areas beyond. Under the umbrella of building resilience during dynamic times, we believe that a rich engagement with the landscape around us fosters health, stability, and well-being at the individual, family, community, and municipal level.

 

AP&D helps create and sustain this connection through a focus on building ecological literacy, increasing awareness of sustainable wild and perennial food systems, advocating for well-designed alternative energy implementation, and in some cases, preparing grants to leverage funding sources for these projects.

 

Our permaculture-informed projects range from small pollinator pocket gardens to intensive food production plans that serve as a hedge against disruptions to our normal patterns. Our "Learn Your Land" and foraging classes add layers of understanding to hikes in the local park, the Pemigewasset Wilderness, and places in between while increasing self-sufficiency skills and ecological literacy.
