Scott Pittman - (1940-2022) - Co-Founder - Director Emeritus
Scott Pittman resonated with so many over several decades by consistently sharing the deep wisdom of nature and how we properly develop our places in it. Scott co-founded the Permaculture Institute, Inc., with Bill Mollison in 1997 and carried Permaculture throughout the world, teaching and practicing it on every continent except Antartica for nearly forty years. He gave courses to multiple indigenous tribes in the Amazon and elsewhere, always encouraging traditional wisdom and arts. Scott taught in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Siberia, Ukraine, Brazil, Nepal, Hopiland, Navajo Nation, Haiti, and Costa Rica, among other nations. He also founded the former Permaculture Credit Union, and was a skillful builder of natural homes. Scott was a true guardian of the planet and steward of her insight.
