Upper Lough Erne Crom ASSI
The parkland is notable for the age of its trees and the communities of woodland lichens (with a number of rare species) that are associated with them. The area contains many vascular plants with a restricted distribution in the British lsles. In addition it is also notable for its mammals, particularly bats, and the wide variety of habitat gives rise to a wide range of bird species including snipe, heron and garden warbler. The invertebrate fauna is also of particular importance and the area is known to support many rare Irish species.
