## Description

<p>Callee Wood is a woodland of manageable size, a real delight and while being fairly close to the Moray coast with Findhorn not far away, it is very private with few people passing by. With a lovely feel,  these woodlands offer a great variety of trees, while below on the forest floor, it too is rich in biodiversity.</p> <p>A  path leads enticingly into the wood from the ridestop entrance, and winds its way along the length of the woodland before heading back to return to its beginning. A woodland owner might look to open up further paths and create a network to add to what is already there, allowing a more intimate feel for the whole woodland. Spending time to find the best places to camp or to build a small shelter is time well spent; there is no need to rush as the woods operate on a much slower timescale. Woodland ownership should be seen as a gentle amble rather than a sprint. It is often worth observing what else shares the space before embarking on significant changes.</p> <p>Callee Wood offers a lovely bolthole to enjoy nature at its finest and early viewing is recommended.</p> 

### Trees

### Wildlife
