Scott is retired from a lifetime of management including 6 years as General Director of a health development agency in Haiti. His passion is regenerative agriculture and soil health. On 2 acres near Almonte, he is leading a project that uses bagged leaves given by the townsfolk of Almonte, diverted from landfill to produce "leaf mould", also known as fungal dominant compost. The compost is offered to farmers to recover degraded farmland. Scott is engaged as a board member of Climate Network Lanark and as a facilitator of the Farm Working Group. Scott is applying what he has learned about fungal dominant compost to his work with Just Good Compost, a new organics pickup service for Almonte residents.
