Protecting and preserving Jersey’s woodlands
This picturesque site, which covers approximately 25 vergées, is composed of two main valleys with a stream running through the centre of each. A large meadow lies centrally within the site and is surrounded predominantly by semi-mature deciduous woodland. This woodland contains a variety of trees including Holly, Oak, Ash and Sycamore, with numerous ferns populating the côtils.
In spring the Valley is alive with a vibrant abundance of wildlife as the meadows fill with blooming wildflowers such as Bluebell, Primrose, Ragged Robin, Marsh Thistle and even the rare Agrimony. In turn, these wildflowers attract a variety of colourful butterflies, including the Orange-tip whose caterpillars feed on Cuckoo-Flower, the Holly Blue and the Purple Hairstreak.
