Description
Wildlife
The Pleasance boasts a good range of mature trees providing habitat for common birds. The margins of Putney Park Lane are mainly grassland with a variety of wayside flowers, including pellitory-of-the-wall and yellow corydalis. Along the length of the lane is a range of native and non-native mature scattered trees. There are patches of regenerating elm scrub at the southern end and these play host to the rare white-letter hairstreak butterfly.Facilities
