Scott Pittman, founder of the Permaculture Institute.


Permaculture course has changed the way I see the world and how I see myself as a person. It has reminded me of the passions I've had my whole life and given me skills to express my values! - Cate A., designer

Scott is known for his foundational work in establishing permaculture movement in the US Southwest, for which he received a Community Achievement Award from the Permaculture Institute of Australia. For six years Scott co-taught with the founder of permaculture, Bill Mollison.
