The Nut Wood is a good example of an Atlantic Hazelwood. The wood is mostly Hazel, with only a few Ash, Oak and Alder standing out above the rest of the wood. We've been working with Ardkinglas Estate to expand and restore the wood.
The wood is on a popular routes to one of Argyll's Munros, Beinn Bhuide. This subtle bit of interpretation provides more information on the wood. The text panel folds back into the oak post after use.
Deer can have a big impact on native woodlands. At the Nut Wood deer fencing has been used to stop them eating the young trees. I passed these red hinds just beside the wood.
