The site is part of the Designated Special Area of Conservation – a protected region that supports waterfowl and waders in the winter. Big Pool Wood both provides shelter and cover for some of these wetland birds and forms part of a wildlife corridor that stretches along the North Wales coast all the way to Anglesey; particularly important for migratory birds.
