The land has been planted with a variety of native broadleaves; oak, birch, ash, alder and a selection of willow. Understorey species of rowan and hazel are also included to give a well balanced woodland as the trees mature. Close to the seat area, a small selection of fruit trees can be found with apple, pear, cherry and crab apple.

The planting was carried out nearly two years ago with the environment and sustainability very much in mind. The young willows were planted using non plastic geotextile, the oaks, rowan, birch etc were planted directly into ground. Older fruit trees were planted with sheep wool to help suppress weeds, all trees had plastic spirals or recycled tree guards and wooden supports. The planting has taken well and a number of self-seeded birch and willow together with gorse and broom are welcome additions.

A historic hedge lies along two sides comprised of, hawthron, blackthorn and dog rose with rasberry, bramble, cleavers and nettle along its fringe.

Open grassy areas are filled with clover, mosses and grasses interspersed with hawksbit, vetches, oxeye daisies, ragged robin and no doubt many others, all in bloom as the seasons dictate.

Fifteen varieties of willow were planted in all; candida, blue stem, flanders red, cohu blue, violet, lemon- rose, golden rod, viminalis x tiandra x viminalis, daphinoides deep purple, nordica, bori-pescara, oriental shrubby, daphinoides 'W' Nigricans.

The wood is intended as a rewilded haven in a largely agricultural landscape. Although still in its youth the wood has quickly been discovered and utilised by the local wildlife. Hares and roe deer can regularly be seen with evidence of stoats and voles amongst the vegetation.

The hedge provides a welcome roost for small bird varieties including, yellow hammer, bull finch, wren and robin. Swallows and house martins visit the pond for a drink and ground nesting pheasant and grey partridge push through the concealling grasses.

In the open skies above skylarks sing with buzzards and sparrow hawks restless in their never ending search for thei next meal.

A seat has been positioned to take advantage of the panoramic aspect and visitors are invited to take a moment to absorb the landscape.

A small pond is an additional feature and attracts a variety of water breeding invertebrates and amphibians such as frogs and toads.The pond has been planted with marsh marigolds and lilies and will no doubt attract others species as time goes by.

Access to the wood is off a private track which conects to a minor road leading from the main A68 in Jedburgh. A small path leads from the gated entrance to the seat and pond. A full right of access over the small section of private track will be granted on purchase.

The sporting rights are owned and included in the sale.

The wood is a rare opportunity to get involved with a woodland at the very start. The exisiting planting could easily be suplemented with additional trees as nature takes its course and the area returns to the wild..

The willow varieties have been carefully selected to provide a useful craft resource as they mature with basketry and charcoal making in mind and of course a potential souce of domestic firewood.

Netherwells Wood is located near to the historic town of Jedburgh, a royal burgh and former county town of Roxburghshire.

The town is steeped in history, with its location close to the border and on one of the main routes between England and Scotland making for a turbulent past.

The nearby Cheviot Hills are a great place for walking and cycling and are well served by local facilities.
