RED SQUIRRELThe forests in Moray are very diverse, ranging from the coastal pinewoods such as Culbin, Roseisle and Lossie, through the splendid scenery of Speyside to the upland forests around Tomintoul. The Moray forests are managed by local Forestry Commission staff to complement this diversity with recreation, conservation, cultural and natural heritage issues all taking a lead role alongside timber production.
