The Trust currently is involved in three projects:
Evanton Village Green
The Trust’s first project was taking over the ownership and management of the former aircraft Hangar site in the centre of the village. It secured funds to purchase and convert it to a Green with landscaping and planting. Today, the Trust manages this attractive village amenity making it available to local groups and organisations for outdoor events. more info.

Local Footpaths
The serious disrepair of some of the network of footpaths around Kiltearn and Balconie has been of increasing concern. In particular, the footpaths alongside the River Skiach, the shorepath alongside the Cromarty Firth and that leading to the old Parish Church are in need of urgent attention. The Trust has drawn up a plan to repair, improve and enhance these footpaths for the many regular walkers from the village. more Info.
Kiltearn Old Parish Church
The Trust has been ilooking at ways to safeguard the future of the ruins of the historic Old Parish Church and burial ground at Kiltearn . The remains of this Church are without doubt one of the most important sites in the village, with evidence that the current structure which was built in the 1790s sits on the site of a much earlier structure dating back perhaps to the 1400s. The Trust has been involced in extensive community consultation to elicit ideas for the future development of the old Church and its surrounding area. It is expected athat this will lead to a viable and sustainable plan to preserve this important historical site for future generations. more info.
