Wet Willow-dominated
woodland
Close to the south-eastern corner of the site, on the banks of
the River Dearne, is an area of wet, Willow-dominated woodland.
As well as Goat Willow, Crack Willow and Common Sallow, other
tree species in this area include Hawthorn, Sycamore and Elder.
The ground
flora beneath these trees and shrubs is generally tall and lush,
with Nettle, Bittersweet, Bindweed, Burdock, the introduced species,
Himalayan Balsam, and an abundance of Hemlock Water-dropwort,
a rare plant in the Barnsley area.
