Strathnairn Community Woodland
The community of Strathnairn took over the ownership of School and Milton woods in Farr in 2003. School Wood (approx. 12.14 hectares) sits immediately behind Farr Primary School. Milton Wood (28 hectares) may be found opposite to the ‘Rennie Macintosh’ style houses at the west end of Farr. Both woodlands contain areas of environmental / scenic interest, and exhibit a mix of trees which offer a habitat for woodpeckers, red squirrels, foxes, bats, badgers as well as a good variety of plants, mosses, lichens and fungi.
Access is easy using well defined footpaths and good car parking.
School Wood is a Forestry Commission Red Squirrel “HOT SPOT” and is home to a wood cabin that was built using timber from the trees growing in Milton Wood. The cabin is available as a class room or for private functions. strathnairncw.org.uk
About
There are lots of ways to get involved and have your say in how the woods are managed. The directors would really like to encourage as many of the community as possible to do so.
The management committee meets on the second Monday of every month, 7.30pm at Farr Hall – all are welcome to attend these meetings.
So please enjoy wandering the woods and please get involved with SCW in any way you can!
