The woodland onsite is ecologically important thanks to numerous veteran oaks of type "quercus robur" which promote a vast array of invertebrates. An oak tree can support 100 times the invertebrate abundance of "acer pseudoplatanus" sycamores. which, in turn, sustain bats, mice and squirrels. The rough bark and natural crevices that appear over time make ideal roosting. The natural progression of woodland into dead wood make the site an ideal habitat for stag beetles lucanidae, iconic insects requiring large sections of dead wood to feed and for the development of larvae.
