Scott Hortop

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.
