The land between the railway and the canal towpath was purchased from the Northern Ireland Transport Holdings by the Woodland Trust in 2000. Since then 2.7 hectares of the site has been planted with over 6000 trees to create a community woodland. These trees are a mix of alder, willow and other broadleaves. Approximately 2.5 ha of the site is being kept as open wetland.
