The forestry on the Glenbeg Estate consists of around 200 acres of Scots pine and Larch, planted by the previous owner around 35-40 years ago. In addition, there are about 700 acres of birch woods which have juniper, alder, rowan, aspen and other species scattered through them. This area is a sanctuary for all types of wildlife. A new 250 hectare wood is in the process of being planted on Gorton Hill. This will be an area of amenity woodland which will support nearly all types of bird life as well as mammals and insects.
