Acomb Landing

This interesting site is a mixture of brownfield and river and floodplain habitat along the Ouse. It has open mosaic habitat including sandy spoil piles and scrubby grassland. Large willows dominate the woodland canopy and below extensive Himalayan balsam and gaint hogweed. A more open floodplain grassland area to the north includes tansy and marsh woundwort, more balsam. This Yorkshire Water site is not publicly accessible but is currently being managed as part of the Green Corridors York project.
