Description
Wildlife
The planted shrubbery includes a mix of native and non-native species such as holly, blackthorn, hazel, sunshine bush and laurel. A large number of mature, Norway maple trees are scattered throughout the site. The maturity and range of shrubs provide ideal habitat for nesting birds and pollinating invertebrates. Although currently managed for amenity purposes, there is an opportunity to plant a great proportion of native hedgerow species (particular edible varieties) to provide greater foraging value for wildlife and people. The site joins onto an open area to the east which forms a continuation of this site with scattered trees, blub planting and seats.Facilities
