6Ha of Damp scrub/wet woodland by the River Leven.

Damp scrub/wet woodland beside lowland rivers is now of very limited extent, although its fragments are widespread and common. It is very important for breeding birds and invertebrates.

Links and augments the habitats of Cordale point and woods to the north in an area of housing, warehouses and playing fields.

Site on the River Leven and thus a very important stepping stone of semi-natural habitats for wildlife movements.
