 Our Trustees




 Our Trustees oversee the work of the organisation, ensuring we stay on track
 to deliver our charitable objectives and providing scrutiny to our processes and
 decisions. In the last 12 months Dinah Nichols and Simon MacGiIllivray retired
 as Trustees. Dinah and Simon both provided a decade of sterling service to the
 Land Trust and we thank them for their enormous contribution.
