wetland, Site of Special Scientific Interest - SSSI (UK)
Clayhanger SSSI lies to the north of Walsall on gravelly glacial boulder clays which overlie the Middle Coal Measures Carboniferous. The site includes a wide range of wetland habitats from open water through swamp and fen communities to species-rich marshy grassland which adjoin areas of neutral and acidic grassland. Habitat diversity, well developed stands of emergent vegetation, and species restricted in their national distribution combine to make Clayhanger one of the best wetland sites in the county.
