IMPORTANT VISITOR INFO – Take only photos. Leave only footsteps.
To keep the woodland as natural as possible we don’t label individual trees and we ask that visitors do not place their own plaques, labels, flowers, etc in the woodland. Each tree we plant should be seen as part of a natural woodland.
Before visiting this woodland, please read our Frequently Asked Questions page, which gives you helpful tips about your tree and visitor guidance.
Broomholmshiels Woodland forms part of Broomholmshiels Farm on the outskirts of Langholm - close to the Scottish / English borders.
The land was previously owned by the Duke of Buccleuch, as part of his shooting estates, but is now part of a community-owned nature reserve.
Following two epic community land-buy-outs, helped by thousands of people, the community of Langholm now own 10,500 acres of the stunning Tarras Valley. They are creating the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve which is one of the biggest projects of its kind in the UK for people, nature and climate.
The planting areas at Broomholmshiels cover around 16 acres and they incorporate the regeneration of birch moorland.
The moorland only had a few mature trees, predominantly birch, so the newly planted trees help to increase the biodiversity of the land as well as providing food and shelter for wildlife.
