The territory is very important in terms of bird species conservation. The study provides a description of the woody vegetation on habitat types. Plant community of six associations was attributed to Salicetum triandrae, Salici-Populetum, Carpino-Fagetum, Carpino-Quercetum petraeae, Genisto tinctoriae-Quercetum petraeae subass. melicetosum uniflorae and Pruno spinosae-Crataegetum.
