Thorpe Marsh Nature Reserve the east bank of the River Don floodplain, Thorpe Marsh nature reserve is an area of lowland grassland with a large lake and small patches of woodland and scrub with oak, ash, hawthorn, blackthorn, willow, birch, and, in the wetter areas, alder. The woodland gives many feeding and nesting opportunities for great spotted woodpeckers, long-tailed and willow tits, treecreepers and tawny owls, among others. With such varied habitats supporting a wide range of plants and animals you are guaranteed to see or hear something of interest. Size, 77 hectares”

If a similar accident happened to Thorpe Marsh as happened to the californium bess plant the whole area would be contaminated .
