Wet, nutrient-rich areas

On the lower slopes on parts of the western edge of the site, the ground is comparatively wet, probably as a result of underground springs. These wetter areas, known as flushes, are dominated by Aspen (an unusually abundant tree on this site) and Willow, over a ground flora of Tufted-hair Grass, Soft Rush, Cotton Grass and mosses typical of wet places, such as Sphagnum.

Drier patches within this area are, in common with much of the rest of the site, dominated by Oak and Birch.
