Recent winter storms have caused well documented damage across northeast Scotland. Garvie Wood did not fair too badly, with only some of the bigger Scots pine unable to resist being blown over. Quite a few have already been processed by the current owner; however a number are still useful, having been left in situ. A new owner may have a real need for such trees to be sawn into large timber, or provide plenty of plenty of scope for the woodland owner to replenish their firewood supplies.

With dramatic change comes renewal, thankfully. The inevitable process of regeneration, enabled by strong light now coming to the forest floor, there is opportunity for other ground species to thrive, prosper and increase the diversity of the flora and fauna.

Red squirrels thrive amongst the woods at Lady Jane, its diverse habitat drawing in all manner of small mammals as well as attracting the larger deer.

The woods at Pitgarvie are renowned for the bountiful harvest of edible mushrooms that pop up from mid summer onwards, though obviously great care must be taken with correct mushroom identification.

There is good access off the public road with no shared tracks and with a rough track leading into the wood. The woodland is fairly open and easy to walk through .

All sporting rights are sold with the woodland.

The woods are perfect for bushcraft and forest school activities whether for groups or for individuals, with its own convenient and private entrance, with a good internal ride leading to the centre of the wood.

Surrounding Area: Nearby are the tourist villages of Edzell, with its hidden "rocks of solitude" walk along the North Esk river, and Fettercairn with its working distillery. Slightly further afield are Glamis Castle and Lunan Bay beach and the fishing towns of Montrose and Arbroath. Dundee and Aberdeen are each approximately 35 mins drive.
