Wet Woodland
The vegetation along Treeton Brook is particularly rich. A wide
variety of trees and shrubs occur here including Ash, Hazel, Guelder
Rose, Alder, Crack Willow, Grey Willow, English Elm, Wych Elm,
Sycamore, Sessile Oak, Balsam Poplar, Hawthorn, Dog Rose, Field
Maple, Crab Apple and Rowan.
The flowering
plants reflect the mosaic of dry acid soils and wetter, nutrient
rich areas, with the former being characterised by Bluebell and
Creeping Soft-grass and the latter by Lesser Celandine, Meadowsweet,
Red Campion, Angelica, Wood Anemone, Ramsons, Greater Stitchwort
and Opposite-leaved Golden Saxifrage. Ancient woodland indicator
species in these areas include Yellow Archangel, Dog's Mercury,
Wood Sorrel, Moschatel or Townhall Clock, Ramsons and Yellow Pimpernel.
