Our Purpose

The Findhorn Hinterland Trust works with landowners and other stakeholders in the local area to help integrate land management and involve the local community.

Our specific purposes are :

  • Conservation through active environmental protection and improvement.
  • Education of the local community and wider public in relation to the outdoor and environmental benefits of the hinterland, its facilities and biodiversity.
  • 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.

Our Mission:

To create opportunities for the local community to engage with the Findhorn Hinterland ‘wild’ land.
