This site has two types of grassland, both of which are rare in Cambridgeshire. They are calcareous grassland on Jurassic limestone and base-poor marshy neutral grassland. The base poor areas have a diverse variety of plant species, including some which are locally uncommon.{{cite web|url=http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1002363.pdf|title=Sutton Heath and Bog citation|series=Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=28 August 2016|archive-date=24 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121024202459/http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1002363.pdf|url-status=dead}}
