In 2007, the local community took ownership of a wind turbine on a local wind farm, and since then FDT have worked to reduce energy use in the village.

The focus of the FRESh event is on Transport, Energy, Sustainable Food and Land and will offer many activities and events over the full two days. The programme includes debates, workshops and demonstrations with leaders from all sectors, with inspiring, guest international and industry speakers. The FRESh FRINGE will host community and business peers, where partnership and knowledge share will be the aim. There will also be an awards ceremony on Friday night.

On the Saturday, activities include a local market , FRESh FOOD FESTIVAL, electric bike test rides, EV test drives, Bike Doctor, gardening fun, demonstrations, activities for youngsters, live music, woodland bug hunt and an Eco show for the little ones and much more. Greenpeace, Water Aid, RSPB, Scottish Wildlife Trust and others will participate in the day.
