Sycamore Alluvial Woodland

[2] Sycamore Alluvial Woodland is identifiable through open savanna riparian structures, with wide floodplains.

[3] Loss of habitat over the past two centuries has greatly limited the ability of sycamore alluvial woodlands to distribute and regenerate.

[4] Due to its rarity and its susceptibility to influence by human modifications, Sycamore Alluvial Woodland is a priority for many conservationists.

Sycamore Alluvial Woodlands are home to a variety of vulnerable wildlife species, such as Actinemys marmorata (Western Pond Turtles) and Oncorhynchus mykiss (Rainbow Trout).

[5] These habitats provide adequate nesting and roosting conditions for a plethora of bird species and additionally providing large quantities of insect and seed due to significant amounts of dead wood that make it a preferred habitat for bird diets.
