About Middleton Wood Woodland History Tree planting started in 1993. Before the first trees it was just a field, used for grazing and growing crops. Many of the trees will grow to be grand mature trees for the children of today to enjoy in their retirement.

Middleton Wood is being developed by local people. The management team is made up of school teachers, Whitfield and Fintry residents and Dundee City Council staff. If you would like to help or would like to come to an activity to find out what happens, please contact the Countryside Ranger Service, telephone 01382 434000. Many people go for walks around the wood and watch wildlife. Some people exercise their dogs. There are picnic tables to stop with a snack. All the paths are well made and are accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs (although some of the paths may be flooded after heavy rain). Community Help Local people have helped Middleton Wood for many years. The new local Urban Ranger Service are now helping more and more people become involved in the wood. Fintry North Youth Project helped clean up this summer and got a mountain of full bags.  A big thank you and to the leaders.
