These ancient woods are of the ash/maple type, an increasingly scarce habitat over its range in lowland England. The rich ground flora includes plants indicative of ancient woodland such as wood melick and early-purple orchid. A system of rides provides valuable habitats for invertebrates.{{cite web|url=http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1002166.pdf|title=Perry Woods citation|series=Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=9 January 2017|archive-date=10 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120510072000/http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1002166.pdf|url-status=dead}}
