The Seepage
General Description of Survey Area |
| The Seepage is a shallow marshy depression running from west to east between the other areas of the Wet Woodland. The area contains variable amounts of moisture in the soil and a small amount of shallow standing water. Much of the area is covered by a broad-leaved tree layer. Dappled sunlight reaches to ground level. The Seepage Area has a lush, green appearance with many different plants growing together. |
