The plantation features a diverse range of tree species, including oak, beech, ash, and birch, which create a rich tapestry of colors throughout the changing seasons. The dense canopy of foliage provides a haven for a variety of wildlife, such as deer, badgers, foxes, and a myriad of bird species, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.
