Bill Mollison - (1928-2016) - Co-Founder
Bruce Charles “Bill” Mollison set the field of permaculture in motion, from co-originating permaculture itself with David Holmgren to co-founding the Permaculture Institute, Inc., with Scott Pittman. The whole of the permaculture community is indebted to Bill for the legacy he left behind and the lineage he began. Author of multiple books, his tome, Permaculture: A Designers’ Manual, is unsurpassed to this day. Bill was the recipient of the international Right Livelihood Award in 1981, among other awards, and filmed the renowned Global Gardener television series. While unconventional and sometimes crude, his wild wisdom continues to create incredibly positive change all over the Earth today.
