This site is designated as a County Wildlife Site because of the presence of four Nationally Scarce plant species:
- Pale St John's Wort
- Maidenhair fern
- Dwarf elder
- Round-leaved crane's bill
There are several areas of wildflower meadows which are located to the west of Stamford Lane and to the west and south-west of the Jennycliff car park on Staddon Lane.
Species include:
- Yellow rattle
- Bird's-foot trefoil
- Bee orchid
The site is managed in order to support invertebrates, including the southern-most area which is managed in a way which will encourage butterfly species.
