The Park is a precious treasure trove of biodiversity in Italy due to the richness of species that are sometimes unique both in terms of flora and fauna. The most interesting elements that characterize the Park are: The Gallipoli Cognato Forest which extends for over 4,200 hectares, a large green spot made up of variegated tree and shrub species among which there are tall Turkey oaks, which reach enormous dimensions in higher areas. Other secondary species are hornbeam, maples and hornbeams. The Small Lucanian Dolomites whose maximum peak reaches 1,319 m. of Mount Impiso, and the bizarre profiles sculpt the suggestive landscape of Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa. The Caperrino mountain (1,400 m.) which represents the most harmonious ridge of the mountain complex The Montepiano wood formed by majestic and secular specimens of Turkey oak, also thriving with maples and white hornbeams and holly trees used during the May festival The archaeological site of Monte Croccia with the remains of the fortification of the Lucan city built in the 4th century.

The vegetative mantle is diversified according to the altitude, exposure and humidity, with the presence of the Cerro Quercus Cerris, as the most widespread tree species. There are at altitudes between 800 and 1,000 meters above sea level. specimens of wild apple, field maple, fig maple which, in autumn, create the beautiful reddish spots. In the Montepiano wood, near Accettura, columnar oaks and two different tree layers can be observed: the first, dominant, consisting of Cerro and Roveri, dominates the second of Aceri, Carpini and Tigli. Also at the highest altitudes are the Carpino Bianco, the Carpinella and the rare Holly.
