Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI):
Coed y Gopa is designated as an SSSI due to its exceptional biological interest.
Bats: It's particularly renowned for being home to the second largest lesser horseshoe bat hibernaculum in North East Wales. These bats utilize the numerous old mine workings (adits) and natural caves within the site for winter hibernation. Other bat species like Natterer's bat and Daubenton's bat are also found here. The wide rides and varied habitats within the wood provide excellent feeding areas for bats.
Other Wildlife: Beyond bats, the woodland supports a rich array of wildlife, including various bird species like ospreys, goshawks, pied flycatchers, redstarts, and wood warblers.
