Marshes and Flushes - Wharfedale Naturalists Society. Limestone pavements and cliffs. Bird List 1946 – 2003. Bird’s-eye primrose and butterwort near Grassington. Where soils are normally wet, they can develop either as marshes, on flatter ground, or flushes, where the ground slopes. Marshy grasslands are very similar to other types of grassland and wetland but occur in wet hollows and next to streams and do have typical wetland herbs, unlike acidic and neutral grasslands which usually are species-poor.

Woodland - Wharfedale Naturalists Society. Limestone pavements and cliffs. Bird List 1946 – 2003. Wharfedale is fortunate in having preserved a number of woods which are ‘ancient’ – they have been in existence since at least 1500. They have been subject to traditional management which retains the native ground flora, or at least only modifies it slightly. In Littondale, Hawkswick Wood has developed on stable limestone scree and is an open ash wood. There is a scattered shrub layer of hawthorn and haz...
