QUARRY WOOD SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI)
Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) Report, Site code:1317 dated Feb 1989.
Quarry Wood is one of the best examples of oak woodland in Moray and the lowest altitude example in north-east Scotland. The wood is ancient with a recorded history extending to at least the eighteenth century.
The woodland is predominantly composed of sessile oak (Quercus Petraea) with some Birch (Betula species) and Scots pine (Pinus Sylvestris) with a locally well-developed shrub layer of Holly (Ilex Aquifolium) and Juniper (Juniperus Communis).
A SPECIAL THANKS to the Moray Council for their permission to place these caches.
