The reserve is a relict of bog that has been extensively dug for peat and subsequently colonised by birch.
The reserve is a relict of bog that has been dug for peat and subsequently colonised by birch. Wet plant communities occur; fen-sedge and the royal fern are still to be seen. The dense cover provides good habitat for some nesting birds, including great spotted woodpecker and tawny owl. Birch thinning and clearance has encouraged other birds and a more diverse peatland flora. This area is also frequently used by basking grass snakes. The deep holes are old peat cuttings.
