Description:
Hartland Moor Nature Reserve on the outskirts of Poole and Stoborough Heath just south of Wareham are two superb examples of heathland sites. They are unique in having Y-shaped bog systems which include both acid and alkaline drainage systems. Typical plants here include Ling, Cross-leaved Heath, Bell Heather, Bog Asphodel, White and Brown Beak Sedge, Western gorse, Dwarf and Common Gorse and rarities such as Dorset heath, Marsh Gentian and the rare Bog Orchid.
There are certain plants which characterise heathlands - particularly heathers and gorse - and these thrive because they can tolerate the nutrient poor, acid soils.
A good time to visit the Dorset Heaths is when the gorse and heather are in full bloom.
