Anagach Woods Trust owns around 382 hectares of mainly Scots pine woodland at Grantown-on-Spey, lying between the village and the River Spey. 

The Trust manages the woods for the benefit of the community and the public with particular regard to: conservation of the natural heritage, education (especially of young people) concerning local wildlife and the cultural and natural heritage of the area, and the provision of recreational facilities and activities intended to improve the life of the community.

The woods were first planted in 1766 and have been under tree cover since. They are designated for the protection of rare birds and include part of the River Spey Site of Special Scientific Interest. Local people and visitors regularly use both marked and unmarked paths for walking, cycling and riding. The Trust also holds regular work parties throughout the area.

To manage potential conflicts between different users, minimise disturbance, and to ensure the safety of all, the Trust requires event organisers to complete and submit an enquiry form so that the impact of a proposed event can be assessed. For small scale and Club events, which may not require permission from, or notification to, the Trust, organisers should consult the Scottish Outdoor Access Code Publication 2005 – Scottish Outdoor Access Code.pdf and guidance issued by Cairngorms National Park Authority Guidance for Organised Outdoor Access Events.
