The benefits of broad leafed woodland in terms of the flora and fauna they support are well documented. Here in the valley the denseley growing trees restrict light and little falls upon the lower levels to promote growth of smaller plants. The exception is of course the dreaded Himalayan Balsam which grows wherever it finds a foothold beside the path.
