The present foreshore supports inundation Willow/Alder woodland along the shore and Alder swamp woodland in the permanently flooded hollows behind, whilst the drier ridges support base-rich Ash woodland. The diversity of woodland types is reflected in the rich flora and fauna, which includes a large number of rare species.
