Ecovillage Findhorn– is 60 years old. The pioneering eco-settlement in the Northeast of Scotland continues to play a leading role as a research and development centre for low-carbon lifestyles, pursued through a complex melange of dream and vision, dance and chant, technology and spirit, investigation and design, reflection and action, death and renewal.
The Findhorn Ecovillage Community has been awarded a grant from the National Lottery to explore what is required for a village with residents and businesses, buildings, gardens and roads to achieve carbon neutrality.
Four feasibility studies, funded by the Just Transition Fund with the aim of reducing carbon emissions, enhancing resilience, and generating green jobs in Moray and Scotland, have been successfully concluded. Image ©Arboreal
