Forest has a unique and fascinating history, shaped by man and nature.
It covers a vast area between Nairn to the west and the Findhorn Bay to
the east. The area has been occupied since the Bronze Age 3000 - 4000
years ago. Oringinally an area of vast moving sand dunes this was stabilised
by the Forestry Commission by tree planting between 1922 and 1960. A mixture
of Scots and Corsican pine was used.
