Get Involved
Great things are happening to help the land, build local community, increase the awareness of the natural ecosystems living on this land and develop land management skills for young and old. Find out more about how you can support the work on the Findhorn Hinterland in this website, and get involved....Green Burial
Wilkies Wood is the first green burial site in Morayshire and is located in a quiet, sheltered position in the middle of a 30 acre mixed pine plantation adjacent to the Findhorn Foundation. The site was subject to a severe storm and is now being managed by the Findhorn Hinterland Group, a community organisation of local people concerned with practical and wildlife conservation. After burial the graves will become an integral part of the woodland with no headstones or mementos.Ecology & Education
The Findhorn Hinterland is a special place with a diversity of habitats and is a great environment to explore and learn about the natural life that exists on this part of the Moray Firth coastal plain. The area as shown on the Hinterland map, is located east of the Village of Findhorn and to the north and east of The Park Ecovillage, home of the Findhorn Foundation community.
Wood Fuel
Managing windblown timber and thinning to create diversity in the woodland area as set out in the Findhorn Hinterland Group (FHG) Management Plan creates the possibility of producing firewood for local people with many local benefits. This work is carried out by a team of volunteers creating fuel with one of the lowest carbon footprints and providing ongoing income to the Findhorn Hinterland Group for its conservation work.
