Rostrevor Wood SAC
The wood is comprised of a number of woodland community types ranging from markedly acid in the upper portion of the wood to weekly base-rich and flushed on parts of the lower slope, resulting in a varied and rich woodland flora composition. In general the wood exhibits a good structural diversity with a tall mature canopy, extensive understorey and field layer, and expansive herb and bryophyte layer.
