Welcome to Falkland Centre for Stewardship .......

Falkland Centre for Stewardship covers some 1500 acres of land, farm, forest and hill.

January 2012 - after the recent storms, many of the paths on Falkland Estate are blocked or affected by fallen trees. For your own safety please follow diversion signs where these have been erected and take extra care wherever you go on the Estate. Anyone thinking of bringing a group on a visit should call the office to check first. We are working as quickly as possible to clear paths but due to the number of trees down this is likely to take some time. We are delighted that a number of volunteers have come forward to help with this task - anyone else who might be able to help please contact the office on 01337 858838.

Falkland Centre for Stewardship is located on the outskirts of the beautiful conservation village of Falkland, Fife, Scotland. As well as caring for the A listed House of Falkland with its arts and craft interiors and historic landscape, we are now developing Falkland Estate as a place where people are learning how to live and work more sustainably. Our interests span from the value of re-skilling our communities to the impact of today's decisions on climate change for future generations.

We are adapting old ideas of stewardship to the needs of our modern, fast changing world with an organic farm on Falkland Estate that is starting to produce affordable food for our local town, by upgrading miles of paths to strengthen our connections with neighbouring communities, planting thousands of trees and considering plans for allotments and wood fuel production.

We host the Big Tent, Scotland's environmental festival - our 2012 dates are 21st-22nd July. Tickets are on sale and we are delighted that the Proclaimers will be headling on Saturday 21st. We look forward to announcing some other festival's highlights in the New Year. We run other events including the annual stewardship lecture and activities around our themes of food, wood and craft.

We are part of the Zero Waste Scotland initiative, working with volunteers to cut down on food waste and promote home composting. Visit the Zero Waste page where there are opportunities to find ways to volunteer and possibly win some great competitions.

Falkland Estate is free to visit any time of the year. Much of our work is only made possible through your support. If you are interested in being part of what we do here then please consider joining as a Friend of Falkland's Heritage or as a volunteer.
