Sopwell Nunnery Information Board (1)
Located on the Abbey Line Trail in Sopwell Nunnery Green Space https://www.walkingenglishman.com/ldp/abbeylinetrail.html refers, this board has been erected by St Albans District Council and has the following wording on it.
Sopwell Nunnery Green Space:
The value of wet woodland.
Also known as Carr Woodland this is an important and rare wet woodland habitat
in Hertfordshire.
The images in the middle show the following:
Clockwise from the bottom left: Banded Demoiselle damselfly, Common Frog,
Riverside Willow, Lesser Celandine and Pollarded Willow
These woodland types are dominated by mature Alder and Willow trees. Some of
these trees have been historically pollarded (the branches cut back so they
re-grow to provide material for baskets and fencing, amongst other things) and
they provide excellent habitats for wildlife such as woodpeckers, bats and
invertebrates.
