Description : This is a young plantation, planted in the early 1980s on the site of a former refuse tip. Species used are lodgepole pine and grey alder, both of which have long been known to establish well on reclaimed/disturbed land. Formative pruning and re-spacing work was undertaken in 1997. This young woodland is growing well and makes a valuable contribution to the local urban fringe landscape.

Access and facilities : No public access at present.
