Backmuir woods is a 45 hectare woodland cared for by The
Woodland Trust in partnership with a management group from the
local community.
The mixture of mature and new woodland and the wide variety of
trees provide a haven for many kinds of wildlife. Jays,
woodpeckers, buzzards, ferns, fungi, roe deer and red squirrels are
part of that natural mix.
There are about 9km of trails, including 1.5km on a surfaced,
all-abilities track. The remainder being woodland trails which can
become soft and muddy after rain, so sturdy footwear is advised.
The gently sloping terrain offers views over the Tay to the south
and the Sidlaws to the north.
 Cache is set
for Backmuir woods event on Sunday 23rd October. Please do not log
before this date.
We've often wondered where on earth the name
"Hubblegardner" came from, but, being a Fifer, we wondered if Al
had missed out an "e" somewhere, so we played around with the
spelling and came up with something appropriate. Now having been
there to celebrate his 4000th find at Katie Morosky, we now know
where the name came from (but we did have to google it). Yer
spelling's no very good Al, but we still love you, and we still
think you look like the penguin!
