Orchid) and Trifolium ochroleucon (Sulphur Clover). Nut Tree Cottage Meadow represents a valuable fragment of agriculturally unimproved grassland which is the most threatened habitat in Suffolk.


Martlesham Plantation Acid Grassland CWS comprises a small area of acid grassland that is a fragment of the once extensive Martlesham Heath. The sward is dominated by Agrostis capillaris (Creeping Bent Grass), Festuca orvina (Sheep's Fescue) and Rumex acetosella (Sheep’s Sorrel).


River Gipping (Sections) CWS supports a diverse emergent fringe consisting of Phragmites australis (Common Reed), Pond Sedge and Sparganium erectum (Branched Bur-reed). Channel vegetation is dominated by Nuphar lutea (Yellow Water-lily) but also contains some uncommon plants, for example Myriophyllum spicatum (Spiked Water-milfoil). A river corridor survey carried out in 1990 showed that Alcedo atthis (Kingfisher), Emberiza schoeniclus (Reed Bunting), Acrocephalus scirpaceus (Reed Warbler), A. schoenobaenus (Sedge Warbler) and Aythya fuligula (Tufted Duck) breed on the River Gipping. In addition Motacilla cinerea (Grey Wagtail) are known to breed in old river structures, mainly locks, including Baylham Mill Lock and Sharmford Lock. Furthermore the River Gipping supports a valuable mixed coarse fishery (Class A).


Great Wood ASNW & CWS comprises mainly Fraxinus excelsior (Ash) with smaller numbers of Quercus sp. (Oak) standards. Neglected Corylus avellana (Hazel) coppice forms a dense understorey throughout. A number of old Hazel coppice stools can still be seen and are evidence of the wood's antiquity. The field layer is covered in a thick growth of Rubus fruticosus agg. (Bramble).


Great Blakenham Churchyard CWS supports a species-rich plant community of conservation importance. In 1992, over one hundred and ten species of flowering plants were recorded here. In addition to a wide range of common wild flowers and garden escapes, the churchyard also supports a number of uncommon Suffolk species for example, Saxifraga granulata (Meadow Saxifrage), Myosotis ramosissima (Early Forget-me-not) and Pimpinella saxifraga (Burnet-saxifrage). Of particular interest is a small population of Thalictrum minus (Lesser Meadow-rue), a rare plant which has only been recorded from a few sites in Suffolk, mainly in Breckland.The site is also important for insects.


Kesgrave Wood and Sinks Valley CWS comprises an early 19th century plantation, parkland with mature trees, acid grassland, heathland, Alder woodland and scrub. Scarce Suffolk species recorded in the valley include Juncus squarrosus (Heath Rush), and Valeriana dioica (Marsh Valerian). The site is importants for birds and bats.


Church Farm Meadow CWS is a semi-improved horse-grazed field close to Church Farm. A corer of the field is more waterlogged than the remainder of the site, and as a consequence is less heavily grazed. This has enabled a herb-rich flora to flourish and unusual wetland plants, for example, Dactylorhiza praetermissa (Southern Marsh Orchid) (50 spikes), Carex otrubae (False Fox-sedge) and Stellaria graminea (Lesser Stitchwort) grow here in good numbers.


Martlesham Heath Wood CWS comprises Betula pendula (Silver Birch), Quercus sp. (Oak) and Pinus sylvestris (Scot’s Pine) with mainly Pteridium
