Description
Wildlife
The wetland area is particularly valuable with a good range of plant species both in the water and growing out of it. Thread-leaved water-crowfoot and narrow-fruited water-cress are abundant in the water.The park to the south is mostly dominated by amenity grassland but has two areas of grassland managed for nature conservation. A small stream flows along the western boundary and through Northolt Green, enhancing the value of these green spaces for wildlife. St Mary's churchyard has rough grassland between the tombstones and is surrounded by tall hedges and trees making it a valuable site for birds.Facilities
