Young woodland

At the Herringthorpe Valley Park edge of Herringthorpe Wood, close to where this joins Gibbing Greave, is a small area of 10 to 15 year old woodland, interspersed with areas of open grassland being invaded by young trees.

Sycamore and Oak are the dominant tree species here, along with smaller quantities of Hawthorn, Silver Birch, Ash, Crab Apple, Yew and Crack Willow. The flowering plants are typified by grasses, with Nettle, Hogweed, Cleavers, Creeping Buttercup, Creeping Thistle and Lesser Stitchwort also being present.
