Harry de Boissiere – Rudl’s values of God, country, and family, has advanced a legacy of environmental stewardship rooted in the teachings of his grandmother, Katrina. William, who passed in 2013, shared stories of their ancestral Hetloo Farm in upstate New York and sustainable practices in Maine, where Katrina fostered indigenous plants, maintained bee colonies, and grew a thriving vegetable garden. Embracing these principles, Harry partnered with Anna Combi on the Blooming Biodiversity permaculture program, initiated in 2015 by change-makers in Costa Rica.
As a key member of the “Solutionaries,” Harry contributed to a dynamic permaculture tour spanning over 50 locations in three months, from Washington to California, blending music, yoga, and community projects to promote regenerative ecosystems and cultural diversity, with the initiative later expanding to Hawaii, Peru, Bali, and beyond. Harry’s commitment to sustainability, grounded in his family’s traditions, continues to drive global environmental and social impact.
“This Fall, a group of inspired solutionaries…from diverse backgrounds, will embark upon a permaculture activation quest, integrating social and environmental action, performance arts and holistic education, into local communities along the west coast. In each location, we intend to gather communities to plant food forests, medicinal herbs and edible gardens, create drought-resilient infrastructure, and utilize natural building techniques and energy-efficient cooking technologies to catalyze resilient living and thrivability. We aim to nurture the blooming of regenerative biodiversity everywhere we go.”To learn more click here
