Ecovillage Findhorn: New Frontiers for Sustainability The Findhorn Ecovillage situated in the beautiful Findhorn Bay of Moray is a synthesis of the very best of current thinking on sustainable human settlements. Within the ecovillage, sustainable values are expressed in the built environment with ecological houses, innovative use of building materials such as local stone and straw bales, beauty in the architecture and gardens, and applied technology in the Living Machine sewage treatment facility and electricity-generating wind turbines. Sustainable values are also expressed in the community’s social, economic and educational initiatives. • a low carbon pioneering ecovillage since 1985 • UN Habitat Best Practice Designation 1998 • a major centre of adult education serving 14,000 visitors a year from over 50 countries • ecological footprint is half the national (UK) average • 61 ecological buildings, including the famous whisky barrel houses • 4 wind turbines • a biological Living Machine sewage treatment system • UK’s oldest and largest Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) system • numerous solar water-heating systems • comprehensive recycling scheme • publisher of UK’s first technical guide to ecological housing • own bank and community currency • site of CIFAL Findhorn - a UNITAR Associated Training Center Download our flyer (PDF) http://www.ecovillagefindhorn.com/ Biomass Boiler  Towards a sustainable, clean, low-cost energy system for the Park Read more Ecovillage Training – Incorporating Permaculture Design Certificate 11 February – 9 March 2012 Read more Findhorn Ecovillage scores record low ecological footprint. Results of the ecological footprint study Read more
