New look for the Trust

Last year we celebrated our 150 anniversary as a cornerstone member of the Greytown Community. As we look forward to another 150 plus years we decided that the time is right to refresh and contemporise our brand and our name, to better reflect our legacy, our place and our focus.

Greytown Lands Trust has nurtured and cultivated the community of Greytown since 1871. Greytown is at our heart and our town and our people’s prosperity and wellbeing is central to who we are and what we do. We have reflected the centrality of Greytown in our new brand, we wanted to make that connection, stronger, more compelling, more evident.

We are about people and community so our Cultivating Community since 1871, reflects that purpose and that singularity of focus. It’s what we do.

We are a Lands Trust, one of two and that heritage is important but it does not limit or define us or shape our commercial focus, it’s a nod to the past as we look to the future and we have reflected that in our new name – Greytown Lands Trust.

From May onwards, you will start to see our new brand around as we transition from the old to the new – from Greytown Trust Lands to Greytown Lands Trust. A new more user friendly website will also be launching soon.
