- Community-building through the activities offered on the land and by promoting cooperation and collaboration between local landowners and stakeholders.
- Provision of recreational facilities and activities with the object of improving the conditions of life for local people and others in West Moray and beyond.
- The provision and management of a Green Burial ground, offering natural burial services in an unspoilt and peaceful setting.
Our Vision
A world with nature at the heart of every community.
