There are two quite different types of woodland on this
walk. The first is Locherwood Community Woodland, at the start and finish of
the walk. This was planted in the mid-1990s as woodland with free access for
local people and is a haven for wildlife. The trees are still very young, so it
feels very open compared to older woodlands. The trees are mainly native to
Scotland – species like oak, birch, ash and rowan.
The second type of
woodland is Ladymuir Forest; this is a much denser plantation of Spruce trees.
It is a few years older than Locherwood, having been planted in the mid 1970’s.
It also has quite different origins. The woodland was planted for the value of
its timber rather than for recreation or nature conservation, and the trees.
