The dominant trees are pedunculate and sessile oaks, with a shrub layer of holly, silver birch and yew. There is a diverse community of breeding birds and invertebrates include the satin wave moth and the white admiral butterfly.{{cite web|url= https://designatedsites.naturalengland.org.uk/PDFsForWeb/Citation/1001108.pdf |title=Ranmore Common citation|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|access-date= 16 November 2018}}
