The plantation is characterized by its dense growth of various tree species, including oak, beech, and pine. These tall, majestic trees provide a canopy that offers shade and shelter to the numerous wildlife species that call Fell Plantation their home. The forest floor is covered with a thick carpet of moss and ferns, creating a lush and picturesque environment.
