Description
Woodland plants next to a stream in spring. This is mature woodland: there is a moss-covered tree surrounded by oak fern (Gymnocarpium dryopteris). The stream is Hareshaw Burn, Northumberland National Park, England. It flows through the wooded valley of Hareshaw Dene, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). An SSSI is usually created to conserve the plants and animals found there, often in particularly rich diversity or as part of an ancient ecology, such as a mature woodland area (as seen here).
