Sitka spruce trees grow close together, forming a dense canopy. However, the dense foliage provides cover from the wind and rain for larger mammals, while birds of prey and smaller birds, such as crossbill, tree creeper, coal tit and siskin, may use Sitka spruce for nesting.

Thinning for firewood or projects would prove beneficial as well as providing sustainable domestic firewood. The created spaces would offer valuable protection for replanting with more diverse species.

Red squirrels have been spotted foraging in the woods as well as deer and the odd fox : a few well placed webcams may show up some other visitors.

The biggest resource of Breena Wood is the timber and it is of an age where thinning out would be the next step and perhaps opening up some clearings to encourage light onto the forest floor.

Vehicle access to the wood is very good and there are also a couple of tracks through the wood, though more work could be done to further open it up. This can be done relatively easily with hand tools and a work party of family and friends.

All sporting rights are included with the sale of the woodland.

Sitka spruce makes up about half of commercial timber in the UK and is used for a multitude of purposes from construction, to paper, to firewood. A log pole cabin would be a great way of making use of the timber.

The villages of Newmachar and Hatton of Fintray are nearby, as is the Kirkhill Forest and Formartine and Buchan Way cycling/walking routes. Aberdeen is Scotland's third largest city profiting from a booming oil industry with property being very sought after. To the west is the fertile and attractive region of Deeside and beyond are the eastern fringes of the Cairngorm National Park. To the north is the world famous whisky producing area of Speyside, whilst the north east coastline provides atmospheric empty beaches and historic fishing villages such as Balmedie and Newburgh.
