HERDINGS WOOD - VEGETATION
Herdings Wood is a small and attractive woodland with a rich ground flora and a predominantly semi-natural character. The wood forms part of the network of woodlands and adjacent open meadows, which is such a characteristic feature of this part of Sheffield.

In comparison to other woodlands in the valley, Herdings Wood is relatively uniform in composition. Only two woodland types are present, these being semi-natural Oak-dominated areas; and mixed Sycamore- and Ash- dominated areas. Unlike other woodlands in the Gleadless Valley, there are no big blocks of planted non-native trees.
