Description
Wildlife
This site represents quite a large area of informal grassland, an uncommon habitat in Southwark, providing refuge and foraging habitat for invertebrates, birds, bats and possibly small mammals. The northern half is more intensively mown. Scattered mature trees line the site's perimeter, providing a commuting and foraging resource for bats. A native hedgerow dominated by hawthorn with other native species forms the northern boundary.Facilities
