Covered in a dense canopy of trees, Chapel Copse is home to a variety of tree species, including oak, beech, and birch. These towering giants provide shelter and habitat for numerous wildlife species, such as squirrels, birds, and insects. The forest floor is adorned with a carpet of wildflowers and ferns, adding to the copse's enchanting charm.
