The coppice primarily consists of oak trees, with their majestic branches reaching towards the sky.

The coppice is managed by local conservation organizations, ensuring that it remains a thriving ecosystem that can be enjoyed by generations to come. Regular conservation projects take place here, aimed at preserving and protecting the flora and fauna that call this woodland their home.
