Biodiversity The Estate contains numerous areas of high conservation value. All of the estate woodlands along with the park and wilderness lake are designated local wildlife sites and support many local Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Species.
During ongoing bird surveys the woodlands were found to support many species noted as in decline, and as a result, significant habitat improvement works funded by the Forestry Commission are being undertaken to help prevent further decline.
The river Ise corridor is a particularly diverse habitat and recently, a phase 1 habitat survey, as well as students from Moulton College, recorded signs of otter and water vole.
