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. |
