Description
Wildlife
The site is dominated by poplar and willow, interspersed with rough grassland containing the locally scarce chicory. The water and marginal areas support a fairly dense growth of aquatic plants, dominated by common reed and coarse grasses, with occasional lesser water-parsnip and brooklime. The invasive floating pennywort is scattered across the site and requires control.Facilities
