Roadside verges and paths are full of wild flowers and with so many varied habitats there are abundant birds and animals to see. Hares, red squirrels, buzzards, bats, butterflies are all common occurrences and if you are lucky you may spot a wild boar, black woodpecker or other rarity.Approximately 8,200 hectares of the land is covered by the forest is varied planting of broad-leaved (mainly sessile oak and beech) and pine (mainly Scots pine) trees.
