Park Ecovillage Trust findhorn Carbon Strategy

Carbon Strategy

As the climate crisis intensifies, PET offers accessible tools that clarify how carbon emissions are generated, how they can be reduced, and how offsetting can be accurately measured.

Caring Community

Creating a model of community that supports every stage of life, an exemplary culture of care from cradle to grave.

What does the Park Ecovillage Trust do? And what was it like to build the new Light of Findhorn Sanctuary?

Amanda Haworth, Chair of PET, shares insights and stories in this 30-minute podcast.

Affordable Housing – Community owned

For the last 10 years the need for affordable housing has been highlighted in many ways:

Young people and families, leaving Findhorn Ecovillage for lack of a ‘suitable’ home.

Long-term community members richly deserve secure homes for their retirement years.

Carbon Strategy

In the face of the imminent climate crisis, PET offers several tools, for measuring individual and business fossil-based carbon emissions, and another that supports further reducing and balance of those emissions.

PET is also guiding the community on its pathway to Net Zero.

Caring Community Circle

Creating an exemplary caring community culture from cradle to grave.

The CCC holds the awareness of the needs of people of all ages in the Community and links volunteers and other resources to those in need.
