Description
Wildlife
This is an area of former agricultural land and landfill, now covered in moderately species-rich rough grassland, dominated by false oat-grass, with remnant hedgerows with standing dead wood. There are extensive recent plantings of native shrubs and trees, an initiative of Watling Chase Community Forest. Due to its large area, the site is an important resource for a wide range of animals and insects.Facilities
