Dear Friends of Permaculture, and dear friends of Scott Pittman
This is his wife, Arina, and I am finally able to gain access to his emails and connect with all the people that he cared for.
Jason sent a lovely obituary to the Permaculture Activist (or was it Permaculture Magazine?) and I am including it here as well.
A memorial celebration in Scott's honor will take place on October 15th in Santa Fe New Mexico. If you would like to attend, please get in touch with me at arina0514@gmail.com
If you are not able to attend but wish to celebrate your shared work and passion, please consider bone fires, musical extravaganzas, peach planing parties. Please share your plans with me so I can share with others.
Scott loved peaches and often wrote and talked about the status of his favorite peach trees. After he died, we found abundant ripe fruit on two trees that were barren this season, only to become loaded with delicious sweetness over the four days of our vigil by Scott's side.
Thank you for holding him in your hearts and for continuing the work of permaculture.
Sincerely -
Arina Pittman

"Full heart of memories of our many adventures"
Farewell my friend...


*Willard "Scott" Pittman 03/23/1940-07/31/2022It is with a heavy heart that
we share news of the passing of the Permaculture Institute's Scott Pittman
on 7/31/2022. He touched so many of us over many 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
1996, and carried Permaculture throughout the world, always polishing it,
refining it, and developing the lenses and frameworks further, which
frequently meant looking to Permaculture's roots by sharing lessons he
learned from traditional ecosystem-based people around the world. Scott
received wisdom and gave wisdom, over and over. He was a true guardian of
the planet and steward of her insight. Almost none have given as much to
the Permaculture Design field than Scott Pittman. Permaculture is a
lineage, and we can say for sure that Scott is situated at the canopy of
the Permaculture family tree. Whether you knew him personally, learned with
him directly, or are just encountering Permaculture recently, take a moment
and acknowledge Scott as one of your ecological ancestors. He lives on in
all of us. May we be so dedicated to the earth and each other as he was.
Rest in peace, dear Scott. Permaculture InstituteJuly 31 at 5:40 AM · *
