Biodiversity 'scrapes' are shallow depressions of land which hold variable depths of water to create wet habitat features for wildlife. They support a wide variety of invertebrates and can provide important feeding areas for breeding wading birds and their chicks. This one is also a part of the Garrowhill Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) by providing additional floodplain storage capacity.
