This wood in Weston Coyney is made up of deciduous broad-leaved and evergreen trees. The conservation interest lies in the fact that it is a semi-natural woodland with many fairly mature oak trees (Quercus robur). Several introduced, non native plant species have become established and, unfortunately, the site is regularly used as a dump for garden refuse.
