Local Wildlife Site

Wildlife

The site is especially abundant in field maple, but also boasts fine examples of sycamore, ash, oak, willows, lime and poplars. There are also various shrubs, and in places the tree cover is dense enough to be termed woodland. There are a good number of apple and plum trees on site. These are perhaps the remnants of an old orchard, understandably an uncommon habitat in central London. Old fruit trees can support specialist invertebrates.There are areas of scrub comprising hawthorn, elder, dogwood, snowberry and plum. The remainder of the site is covered with amenity grassland. This site will undoubtedly be attractive to small birds in providing nesting sites and opportunities to forage.
