Who We Are
Who We Are
The Findhorn Hinterland Trust (FHT) is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, established in 2015 to manage 50 hectares of land adjacent to the Findhorn Ecovillage. The FHT succeeded the Findhorn Hinterland Group, which had previously worked to bring together land and people for the benefit of both.
The charity has a formal constitution and is regulated by the Office of Scottish Charities Register (OSCR), to whom we report and lodge our most recent FHT Trustees Report and Financial Statements 2024/2025.
The FHT is a membership organisation managed by a group of trustees. Our membership comprises more than 220 people living in the local community and further afield. Our members elect up to 12 trustees to manage the affairs of the trust. The trustees, members and volunteers work together in several small teams that each focus on a specific area of our purpose (conservation, education, community, recreation, green burial).
Membership of the FHT costs just £10 and helps to support our work on the land.
