About Matt Whittley

After much exploration into alternative fuels, alternative building and organic farming, Matt heard about Permaculture. The pursuit of Permaculture became an immediate obsession. Within 2 weeks Matt found himself sitting with Permaculture founder Bill Mollison in Bocas del Toro, a Caribbean island off the coast of Panama, for a Permaculture for Islands course. During this time Matt was offered a position to work with Bill and Lisa Mollison in Tasmania, Australia, an offer he could not refuse. Matt, and his wife Julia, moved to Tasmania and worked closely with Bill and Lisa, completing a 72 hour DVD series. The time spent with Bill and Lisa personally, and the exposure to the video teaching, gave Matt and Julia a truly comprehensive understanding of Permaculture.

Matt and Julia went on to work with Geoff Lawton to create a series of short videos. They also went on consultations with Geoff, dealing with earth dam construction, water harvesting and site design, including a 1500 acre property.

After living in the Republic of Panama for years learning from and teaching farmers and aid workers, Matt moved back to Ontario, Canada. There he is currently working with a major developer and team of professionals to create a large scale transition with the end goal of turning Simcoe and Springwater counties into the centre for sustainable action and education.
