These commercial coniferous plantations are designated an SSSI for their internationally important bird populations. Surveys in the 1990s found 81 singing

nightjars, around 2% of the number in Britain, and 71 woodlarks, approximately 5% of the British population.^[6]

There are public footpaths through the woods.
